Roy Fairchild

Roy Fairchild brings together his professional training in graphic design and illustration with a deep appreciation for Renaissance art to create his widely collected etchings and serigraphs. Born in Surrey, England in 1953, he showed artistic talent from childhood and began studying technical illustration at age 16, eventually earning his degree in graphic design.
After completing his studies, Fairchild established his own studio and worked as a freelance illustrator to support his family while continuing to develop his artistic voice. During this period, he illustrated a diverse range of projects including books, record sleeves, advertisements, and graphic works, signing them under the name “Woodard.”
By the 1980s, Fairchild had achieved enough financial stability to dedicate himself to creating art full-time. This marked an important transition in his career, as he began signing his works under his own name. His technical expertise combined with his artistic sensibility has made his work popular among collectors. Roy Fairchild is represented by Park West Gallery.
