A Life in Colour

A Life in Colour by Michael Rumsby

About Michael Rumsby

Michael Rumsby, an expressive and abstract artist, seamlessly blends vibrant landscapes into his large-scale paintings using a mix of media including oil, pencil, charcoal, pastels, and ink. Influenced by the Suffolk coast's dynamic scenery and his extensive travels as a former Global Communication Director, Rumsby's work is a sensory collage of color and light. After leaving his corporate career in 2010 to pursue art full-time, he gained recognition with exhibitions across Europe, the Middle East, and the US, and was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in 2014. Living in southwest France with his husband, Rumsby also runs a boutique hotel where he hosts painting courses, continuing to inspire through his art and charitable work.
