Digby Beaumont is an English artist. His portraiture looks to capture something of his subject’s inner world as well as a likeness. His still lifes raise questions about the objects’ deeper meanings. His pen and ink and mixed media series, I Don’t Know What Came Over Me, is a whimsical and poignant take on the theme of what it is to be human. Digby’s artwork has also been published extensively in collaboration with writers of fiction and poetry. He is self-taught. Before becoming an artist, he was a widely published writer.
