Moonlit arrival in Dunster

Maurice Bishop was born at Highbridge, Somerset and enjoyed drawing and painting from early childhood. After leaving Brymore School. Cannington, he had various jobs, whilst continuing to paint as a hobby, eventually painting full-time at Burnham-on-Sea in 1979. In 1987 he moved to Dunster and opened his Gallery.

Maurice is self-taught, painting in oils on canvas using his drawings, photographs and imagination together with personal experience to create his impression of a landscape. Exmoor is particularly inspirational, with its high open moorland, deep lush combes, hog-backed cliffs and quiet harbours. He hopes his work captures a little of this wonderful area.
