Tessa Perceval

Tessa Perceval was born in Melbourne in 1947, the eldest daughter of John Perceval and Mary Boyd. She is primarily a self-taught painter, although she studied art for a short time in London in the 1960s and in Florence in 1971. She held her first solo exhibition in London in 1971 and since then has exhibited widely in Australia and the UK.

Throughout her career as a landscape painter she has travelled extensively, painting on location in many parts of Europe, the UK, Ireland and Australia. Based in London for most of her adult life, she now lives with her family in Herefordshire near the south Wales border, returning to Australia periodically. Her work is in public collections in Australia and in private collections internationally.
