Owen Wall was born in Battersea. He left school at 15 and although he had no formal art education his creative talents were recognised when he went for an interview at one of London's top Advertising Agencies, where he was offered a job as a junior in the art department.

He worked there throughout the 60's and early 70's, producing campaigns for BOAC (now British Airways), Huntley & Palmers, Watneys Ale, Frigidaire, Frys Chocolate, British Oxygen and Ideal Standard.

During this period he developed his love of music, in particular the Drums and together with some friends from the Agency, he formed a Jazz group and could regularly be found rehearsing at the local recording studios in Marylebone High Street.

In 1965 he married and fulfilled his childhood dream of moving to Kent, where he now lives in a small hamlet just outside Canterbury.

In the late 70's he decided to set up his own graphics and advertising business in Canterbury and over the past 25 years has successfully combined this with his love of painting and photography.

His technique is informal and his paintings have many different textures giving them depth and character. He works mainly with acrylics and is inspired by scenes of everyday life, especially social gatherings.
