Stuart Atkinson was born in Yorkshire in 1940 where he developed his love of painting, working mainly in the Yorkshire dales. A move to Guernsey in the late 1960's became a 25 year stay during which time he painted prolifically throughout the Channel Islands, France, Germany and Greece and exhibited regularly, becoming one of the foremost contemporary Channel Islands artists.
In 1995 he and his wife moved to Suffolk and following various mixed artist exhibitions he held his first Suffolk one-man exhibition in 2001. Numerous one man shows have followed and he is now exhibiting annually in Aldeburgh, Suffolk.
