VERNON DE BEAUVOIR WARD was born in Hampstead, London on 12th October 1905, the son of the artist and art dealer Albert Ward, and was encouraged to develop his interest in art from an early age.

He lived at 8 South Hill Park Gardens, Hampstead for many years and also in an apartment overlooking the river in Twickenham.

His work was extensively published in the form of prints, as well as greetings cards and jigsaw puzzles by publishers such as Frost and Reed, Solomon and Whitehead and W. M. Sharpe of Bradford.

He exhibited at The Royal Society of British Artists and the Royal Oil Painters Institute. He is listed in The Dictionary of British Artists and Grant Waters Dictionary of British Artists. There is extensive information and examples of his work on google.
