Cornish Artists

Experimentation is a crucial element of his style, incorporating impressionism and abstraction, constantly searching new ways of depicting mood and atmosphere, with the Cornish landscape offering the ideal inspiration for his painting.

Living and working in St Mawgan, Sharon Bruster creates mixed media paintings inspired by the coast, in particular those spaces where water and land meet. Her evocative and expressive paintings are often layered and textured and invite the viewer in.

Sharon's love of the outdoors is expressed through her paintings, always aiming to capture the fleeting mood and atmosphere. The rapidly changing coastal dunes and their silent energy is a major source of inspiration.

Endlessly fascinated by the sea, its movement, the rocks and surrounding area she often paints directly onto boards or canvas on the beach or in the landscape.
She works quickly and intuitively trying to capture the energy and emotion of the place.

Alan seems to be obsessed with windows and distant views seen from dark places. For a change, He likes to paint a portrait or two.

Recently returned from 31 years living in France, he is enjoying immensely living back in England. Looking forward to capturing a few more fascinating subjects so typical of England and more especially, Cornwall.

I am motivated by the changing effects of light on the landscape throughout the seasons: the movement and colour of the sea and timelessness of the cliffs. I try to convey what it feels like to be there, at that time on that day and I am increasingly drawn to a more abstract interpretation.
