  • How To Find Out More About Ross & His Art

    by Dawn Mayne
    A few years back we put together a book on Ross's art, featuring his story and many of his artworks. The book was created to be a introduction to the man behind the paintings, with his story from his childhood in England, through to his travels abroad and years as an architect, before he settled into art as a full time career in the 1990's.

  • Ross's School Book Drawings

    by Dawn Mayne

    In 1949, Ross entered the "A" Class at Clitheroe Grammar School after passing his 11+ Exams.

    He already had an interest in Art and Architecture, much influenced by his father Frank, who had no opportunity to become an architect, but sketched on a regular basis. Ross's interest was further encouraged by his art teacher who also gave "History of Architecture" classes to those with an interest in the subject.

    The drawings below are examples of Ross's work taken from his schoolbook.
