C.H. Burleigh

Charles Burleigh painted a variety of subject matter in both oil and watercolour. He studied at Brighton School of Art and in Paris. The artist was married to Averil Burleigh, another artist, and they had a house built in Hove in the 1920s. Their daughter, Veronica, was also a painter. Brighton and Hove Art Gallery have a number of paintings by the Burleighs, including a portrait of Charles by Veronica. The family were discussed in an article by Hilary Chapman in the Antique Dealer and Collector's Guide in March 1998.

Charles Burleigh was a member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters (ROI) and the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours (RI). He exhibited quite widely at their exhibitions and at such venues as the Royal Academy and the Fine Art Society.
