Derek Chambers was born in Ilford in 1937. He worked as a graphic designer in Central London from 1953 until 1993.
He moved to Suffolk in 1994, after which he gradually withdrew from the commercial world in order to follow his own interests in drawing and painting. He now creates images using every available medium and has a special fondness for all the techniques of printmaking, including lithography, etching, monotype and woodcut.
He has built up a body of work, exhibiting successfully and selling regularly in London, Suffolk and elsewhere. He has had several one-man shows and has had work exhibited at many London galleries including the Royal Watercolour Society, the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, the Federation of British Artists, the Mall Galleries, the Royal Society of Portrait Painters and the Royal Society of Marine Artists. He was prize-winner at the Eastern Open in 2003 and 2014.
Derek is a long-standing member of Sudbourne Park Printmakers, making regular use of their workshop facilities which were established by printmaker Gareth Jones.
