Artist Biography
Thomas Greenhalgh was a painter born in Heywood, Lancashire, the son of a blacksmith. By the age of 14, his occupation was already recorded on the census as 'painter', although where he received his training, if any, remains unclear. After his marriage, he moved to Southport where he lived until his death in 1906. Greenhalgh worked in both watercolours and oils and showed at the Walker Art Gallery, Manchester City Art Gallery and the Royal Hibernian Academy, although nothing has yet been discovered about his art training. He had a passion for churches and painted several views, both interior and exterior. Today his work is reproduced in poster and print media. The Lytham St Annes Art Collection and the Atkinson Art Gallery have examples.
