Graham has been a plumber and an art teacher, and travelled to Norway and Iceland as a practicing artist. He began framing while he was sharing studio space with Beth Fisher at Peacocks Print Workshop in the late 1980s.

After three years with Peacocks, he set up his own framing business in the Castlegate, buying his premises at 23 Justice Street in 1993. He has worked with a long list of artists through his framing business, the most recent being Ade Adisina, but is now looking forward to getting back to his own art practice, and to new adventures.
