About Graham Turner:

It is now 14 years since Graham Turner made the decision to go freelance and in that time he has built up a strong reputation for his paintings and prints amongst collectors worldwide.
Born in 1964, as the son of Michael Turner he was obviously immersed in an atmosphere of art and motor racing from an early age, but it wasn`t until he was 16 that he developed a desire to embark on a similar career to his father.
Despite the best efforts of a career adviser to persuade him otherwise, Graham was determined to follow this path and enrolled on a course in Art & Design at Amersham College. Two years working for a London design studio followed, before the decision to go it alone at the age of 20.

It was probably inevitable that Graham would find himself drawn towards the world of motor racing as an inspiration for his work and so it proved, with the first ten years of his freelance career spent almost entirely painting racing cars from all eras of the sport, for clients including drivers, teams and sponsors, as well as enthusiasts and collectors keen to record their racing memories.
Apart from attending many race meetings to expose his senses to the sights and sounds of exotic machinery, Graham also competed as a rally driver in the 1980s, gaining first hand experience of the excitement of competition from a driver's point of view.

Whatever he is painting, Graham believes it is imperative to thoroughly research and understand the subject matter in order to be able to portray it accurately and convincingly. Whether it be the angle of rear wing on a Grand Prix or the layout of a race circuit, he endeavours to provide an accurate record of the events he has chosen to portray.
