Since 2012, artist Rod Major has been a professional oil painter exhibiting at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, the Royal Institute of Oil Painters (ROI), Mall Galleries and the Chelsea Art Society.
Born in Cheshire, Rod is now a self-taught landscape painter living in Hythe, Kent. He paints en plein air, outdoors on the spot, where he “strives to capture the essence and mood of a place in a spontaneous way.”
