Deryck Simpson, a resident of Aykley Heads, in Durham, has put a selection of his pieces on display in the Undercroft at the cathedral.
The exhibition coincides with the visit of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, who will attend the Royal Maundy Service at the historic landmark on Thursday, April 17.
His work has been featured in various venues across the county and beyond.
Mr Simpson, a volunteer steward at the cathedral, is also known for his painting, ‘The Pride of Pelton Fell’, which was displayed in the Open Treasure exhibition at the cathedral.
Mr Simpson said: “It’s an honour to have my work displayed in such a revered institution, especially during a time when the cathedral prepares to welcome Their Majesties.
“I hope that visitors find a sense of connection to our shared heritage through my paintings.”
During 2022, Mr Simpson spent around 30 hours recreating His Majesty in the form of acrylic before sending it to Buckingham Place ahead of the King’s Coronation.
His work has previously featured at Ushaw College, Durham Botanic Gardens, Biddick Arts Centre and The Witham in Barnard Castle.
His art has reached an international audience, with commissioned pieces sent as far as the United States.
The exhibition co-incides with the upcoming Royal Maundy Service, a historic ceremony where the monarch honours individuals for their exceptional service to the community.
The service, rooted in traditions dating back to medieval times, will see King Charles III distribute specially minted Maundy money to 152 recipients from the Diocese of Durham and other regions.
Visitors to Durham Cathedral can see Mr Simpson’s artwork, reflecting images of the region and still life, until mid-May in the Undercroft.
Some of the proceeds will go to Durham Cathedral.
