Peregrine Heathcote
Peregrine Heathcote was born in London in 1973. His natural talent surfaced at the age of 12 attending classes at the Heatherly School of Art in Chelsea. He then went on to Stoneyhurst and Harrow where he completed his formal education. Heathcote then began his classical training in Italy graduating from the Florence Fine Art Academy in 1994 and began his professional career as a working artist in 1995.
The characteristic themes ever present in Heathcote’s painting evoke a nostalgic look at a hedonistic lifestyle reminiscent of the thirties and twenties through to the swinging sixties. The young women are always beautiful and elegant in their chic designer outfits. The men are also good-looking, dapper and well to do.
Peregrine Heathcote’s virtuoso and classical style of painting has also led to portrait, yacht, and classic car commissions from many notable captains of industry and commerce as well as celebrities in the world of film, theatre and television. In recent years his impressive list of over 100 portrait commissions includes Prince Jeffrey of Brunei, The Duke and Duchess of St Albans, The Earl of Bradford, The Countess of Effingham and Lord Selsdon, Julian Fellows, Lord and Lady Rees-Mogg and the CEO of Barclays UK Banking, Roger Davis.

Thomas Reis
Thomas Reis began work as senior art director for JP Morgan Chase in New York City, shortly after receiving his MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1993. Two years later, he was illustrating for nationally-known publications, including Time magazine, Rolling Stone, the Wall Street Journal, Entertainment Weekly, Sports Illustrated, Business Week, TV Guide, Barron’s, Forbes and Smart Money. Corporate clients have included MGM, Dupont and Colgate.
Throughout his career, Reis has also worked as a fine artist, producing work with all the refinement that one would expect from a classically trained painter. His paintings are represented in numerous permanent and private collections throughout the United States. Tom currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia.
