Michael Vaughan was born in London in
1948. He started painting at school under the
guidance of the sculptor John Bunting. Later,
while studying History at Oxford, he spent
considerable time attending classes at the
Ruskin School of Art. He continued with his
art practice, studying at the RA and at Morley
College with Maggi Hambling whilst creating
Vaughan Designs (an internationally renowned
lighting business) with his wife Lucy. In 2013
he decided finally to dedicate himself
full time to painting.
Vaughan's first solo exhibition was in 2015 at
the leading London dealers, Jonathan Clark
Fine Art, and he has recently exhibited at
Rosenberg & Co in New York as part of their
group show 'Five Contemporary Artists'.
