Glenn Hoyle

Born in Lancashire, England (1951) Glenn Hoyle always loved to draw and paint and at the age of fifteen he enrolled at the Rochadale College of Art to study art from 1966 to 1969. After working as a commercial artist, he travelled extensively throughout Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and arrived on the shores of Australia in the mid seventies for a working holiday.

Eventually in 1981 he returned to live in Melbourne permanently. It was here that Glenn first thought about painting full time. He joined the Peninsula Art Society, entered art shows and exhibited in local galleries. His first solo exhibition was a great success with every painting being sold.
