Francis Bowyer was born in 1952 in London. He studied at St Martins School of Art and Chelsea School of Art in London. He has taught drawing and painting part-time at all levels up to postgraduate and is currently teaching at the Royal Academy Schools and Richmond Adult Community College. Like many other previous Presidents of the Royal Watercolour Society, Francis Bowyer comes from a family of artists; both his parents, his brother and his wife are all painters or designers. He himself spent a few years designing toys before returning to paint his pictures, which are full of colour and light. Much of his painting is does at Walberswick, where the Bowyer family has a home.
