Not much to go on. He was an old boy of Epsom College. Latterly lived in Herefordshire but was born in London. He's a painter and a sculptor and has left quite a lot of stuff that his widow now wants to pass on. I think the enquirer is trying to find out a bit about his work and whether he is famous or anything....it appears not BUT if something by him ends up on Antiques Road Show and sells for £1m in a couple of years time there will be egg on a few faces!!!

Only other fact I've found is his father JBS Lewis worked at Bethlem Royal (he was a doctor). We think our artist used the name Conrad Lewis but not 100% sure.

Groves drew a blank (except the bit katlaughing found which might well be relevant). Searched all the newspaper obits but nothing recorded. I suspect he might have had a line in the Telegraph Column in April 2005.

My gut feeling is he was probably an amateur and maybe he had another job too. The bit about "artist" was written in 1940s just after he got demobbed from the Royal Signals at the end of WW II.

But thanks SO much for looking guys. Mudcat never fails to amaze me!!!

Cheers
