Dennis Creffield was born in London and studied under David Bomberg at Borough Polytechnic, London, from 1948 to 1951, after which he attended the Slade School of Art between 1957 and 1961. In 1961, Creffield was a prizewinner in the John Moores Painting Prize, held at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool. He would go on to teach at the University of Leeds and Leeds College of Art, as well as other colleges in Britain and abroad. In 1987 the Arts Council commissioned Creffield to draw all 26 medieval cathedrals of England, a project for which he produced more than 600 drawings. His works of art can be found in numerous collections including the Arts Council Collection, Leeds City Art Gallery, the Towner Art Gallery in Eastbourne, and the University of Sussex.
