Neill Othen graduated from Southampton Institute in 1997 with a BSc in Media Technology. This knowledge has been translated into paintings only in recent years. Othen has shown in various exhibitions including Worthing Museum & Art Gallery, Fisherton Mill Gallery, Salisbury and Chameleon Gallery, Brighton.
