Timmy Mallett was born in Marple, Cheshire, and studied the History of Art at Warwick University. Upon leaving university he entered the entertainment industry, working for BBC Radio Oxford, a precursor for an award-winning career in television and radio, which led to him becoming a much-loved household name. In recent years, he has rediscovered his first love for painting, and in doing so has earned himself worldwide recognition as a highly talented artist. His impressionist works reflect his travels through the UK and beyond, with scenes of sunshine, light, warmth and colour. His technical ability and gift for capturing the magic of a moment have brought him great acclaim, winning the affections of critics and collectors alike, and the clamour for his art has seen a number of his works reproduced as limited editions.
