Artist Biography

Joseph Edward Hennah was born in Newport. He was awarded a scholarship to Newport Art College, and was also given help and guidance by the locally well-known Newport artist Fred Richards. After serving in WWI, Hennah returned to Newport, where he started work in earnest as a professional artist. It wasn't long before his works were exhibited at the Royal Academy, the South Wales Art Society and The Royal West of England Academy. Around 1939 Joseph moved to Weymouth. He quickly became involved in the art scene there, and was closely involved in the setting up of the Weymouth and South Dorset Arts Centre.
