Derek Homer was born in Birmingham and moved to Dorset in 1977. He studied at the University of Life and paints from his experiences. "My style has been described as whimsical and fun, if my efforts make you smile then you’ve grasped all that is intended. Fun Art has at last re-emerged, all be it in the guise of Naïve, Primitive, Folk and Outsider Art and the Art world is excited. A spark of light shining like a beacon amidst a stressful world. Long may it last!" Having been one of four founder members of the New British Naives in September 2001, along with my mentor and friend Frank Sidney Smith and Dean Williams, the group were 'on hold' after the untimely death of organiser Mister Denham (Peter) at Christmas 2002. Since then I have concentrated on school mural projects in Dorset and spent time, when inspired, to produce over 100 images which will be available as 'Standard Mounts' and Limited Edition giclee fine art prints. I hope you enjoy browsing through them.
