Len Tabner was born in South Bank near Middlesbrough in 1946. He studied at Middlesbrough College of Art, Bath Academy of Art and the University of Reading, and lives Near Staines, North Yorkshire Coast.
Len Tabner’s work has been centred on North Yorkshire and the North East. He has exhibited at many northern galleries, and his works have been purchased by Northern Arts, Tyne and Wear Council, the Washington Development Corporation, Unilever and others. He is a watercolour painter and printmaker whose favourite subjects are landscapes and seascapes. He paints out of doors in all weathers (when inclement under a huge umbrella) which gives his pictures of storms at sea (such as South Fare Basin) a wild immediacy. Although watercolour is the basic material, he intensifies his scenes by conte chalk and graphite.
