Born in Cookham, England, Spencer’s art often depicted intimate scenes from his hometown and the people around him, blending meticulous observation with imaginative storytelling. Trained at the Slade School of Fine Art, Spencer gained recognition for his religious paintings, figure studies, and portraits, all marked by precise draftsmanship and a distinctive emotional intensity. His works are held in major institutions including Tate, the Victoria Albert Museum, and the Ashmolean Museum.
