From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Geoff Nutkins (12 June 1951–) is a British aviation artist, working in gouache and pencil. He has been painting for over 20 years.
Geoff's works focus on World War II, and in particular the Battle of Britain period. A number of his works feature the Supermarine Spitfire, Hawker Hurricane and Me109, but they include many other RAF, USAAF and Luftwaffe aircraft and pilots. His paintings frequently feature in aviation magazines and books.
Geoff is a member of the Guild of Aviation Artists, winning the much-coveted Nockold Trophy at the annual exhibitions in 1998 and 1999. His works are in collections around the world, both private and public, including the RAF College, Cranwell, the Royal Air Force Museum, Hendon and the RAF Club, Piccadilly, London.
Geoff's "Scenes of the Battle of Britain" series raised over £100,000 for the RAF Benevolent Fund Reach for the Sky appeal. Set No.1 was presented to Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother at Clarence House in London.
Geoff is also a keen aviation archaeologist and a co-founder of the Shoreham Aircraft Museum.
