Philip D Hawkins FGRA

Maybe a childhood spent in Birmingham in the 1950's surrounded by the sights and sounds of railway trains, is responsible for Philip's enduring passion for all things railway.
After graduating from Birmingham College of Art, Philip was employed in the railway industry as a technical illustrator and later as a press photographer and freelance illustrator. Finally, he took the plunge and turned to the world of fine art.
Prestigious commissions from major companies are proof of his abilities, with Philip D Hawkins artwork appearing in magazines, advertising campaigns, fine art prints etc... the list is seemingly endless.
Philip, a founder member of the Guild of Railway Artists back in the 1970's, was its President from 1988 until 1998.
