COLIN TOPHILL - The Local Artist

Colin Tophill has become well known as a local artist through regular exhibitions in and around Fleet.

Back in the 1940's COLlN TOPHILL qualified at the Canterbury College of Art. Following this, he worked as a freelance commercial artist, specialising in Heraldry, Exhibition Design and Calligraphy. However, lured by the more lucrative world of commerce, he joined the Booker plc empire and representing their interests, later became a key figure in the growth and development of the health food industry through exhibitions and promotional activity.

His interest with the art world was ever present and during the intervening years Colin spent time painting both land and waterscapes in watercolour and pen and ink. Although now 'retired', Colin is still highly regarded in the health food industry and still continues to design stands for a number of national exhibitions.

Today his art concentrates on subjects all over Britain, including local scenes in Hampshire, Surrey and landmarks throughout the British Isles. Colin also writes the Menu Boards for the Blubecker group of restaurants.

His travels have taken him across Europe, particularly to the Swiss mountains and Venice, Italy, the works of which are featured within his local exhibitions.
