Bob Banks graduated from the Berkshire College of Art in 1976 and worked as an art director in top London Ad Agencies including Ogilvy & Mather, Everett’s and Presentation Design. He set up Animation Studio Ltd in 1988 and since then has worked for many of the UK’s top companies producing TV commercials, corporate and training videos. Moving to Ely in 2010, his wife Carol took up jewellery and he spent more time making art - using both oils, pastels and digital techniques. They are members of Cambridge Open Studios and open to the public every July.
