Geoffrey Hayzer RP

I studied Graphic Design at St Martin’s School of Art, London. I went on to work for 12 years in design groups and advertising agencies, managing several high profile accounts in both London and Paris. Upon my return to London in 1993 I decided to fulfil my long-term ambition and began to paint full time. In May 2000 I was elected to become a member of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters.

My work has been selected for exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, London on five occasions during the BP Portrait Award exhibitions. Since 1999 my paintings and drawings have been shown annually at the Royal Society of Portrait Painters exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London. My work is also held in several collections both public and private, and can be seen regularly elsewhere in London and around the UK.
