Roy Fairchild-Woodard was born in surrey in 1953. He has been known as both Woodard and Fairchild during his career; Fairchild, his family name, is used when producing his own, personal artwork. Fairchild began his artistic path, however, by training as a technical illustrator after leaving school at 16.
After his training, Fairchild started his career in advertising; his ability to create photo-realistic images using airbrush technology allowed him to continue practising art and developing his skills. While creating his artwork with a more commercial intention, Fairchild operated under the name Woodard. He found considerable success in this career, lasting throughout the 1970s.
Eventually, Fairchild was able to move into a full-time career of painting and printmaking, allowing him to develop the artistic styles for which he is now known.
Fairchild now stays in his country home, working consistently within a peaceful and secluded environment throughout most of the year. However, he also relies on his travels across continental Europe to find inspiration for his work.
