MIKE DUCKERING
Mike Duckering was born in Nottingham and moved to Devon as a young boy. He first studied architecture at the University of Bath under Professor Ken Smithies, a renowned pioneer of modern architectural design theory. After graduating he worked for many years as an architect in Bristol, establishing his own practice in 1986. Art has been an ongoing interest, and after retiring from architecture, he went on to study art at the University of Gloucestershire, gaining a BA Fine Art degree in 2013. Mike is co-founder of the thriving Lansdown Art Studios in Cheltenham, where he has a studio. His work has been exhibited and sold at a number of galleries and exhibitions, including Hadfield Fine Art, Sevenhampton; Lime Tree Gallery, Bristol; Little Buckland Gallery, Broadway; the Affordable Art Fair and Bristol's Royal West of England Academy. His work is held in private collections in the UK, USA, Canada and France.
