Lamorna Birch

Samuel John Lamorna Birch, RA, RWS was an English artist in oils and watercolours. At the suggestion of fellow artist Stanhope Forbes, Birch adopted the soubriquet Lamorna to distinguish himself from Lionel Birch, an artist who was also working in the area at that time.

Lamorna Birch was born in Egremont, Cheshire, England. He was selftaught as an artist, other than for a brief period of study at the Acadmie Colarossi in Paris during 1895.
