Neil Allen
		Born in Leicester in 1971 Neil rapidly developed an affinity with the natural world, which in turn encouraged him to draw and observe the local landscape. This developed into a love of wildlife, for which he is so well known for capturing on canvas.
Neil spent a number of years working as a freelance illustrator in both Spain and the UK, fitting his painting around his other commitments, however, he finally decided to take the plunge and concentrate solely on his painting.
		He now resides in Spain where he continues to work avidly on his paintings of wildlife.
