Cornish Artists – Established

As time I am being drawn further and further towards abstraction, recent experiments in monotype have been an exciting addition to my work.I am always after an ethereal quality and if only one viewer connects with that I will have been successful.'

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.

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.

Christine was raised in St Ives, Cornwall, where she is currently based. She finds the coastline to be a powerful inspiration, feeding her fascination with how the natural elements interact with each other, the ocean's relationship with land.

Maggie is fascinated by the tracks and marks left behind as the sea goes out, and how the light reflects off the wet sand. She also enjoys watching the constantly changing sky and sea and bringing a sense of the weather into her paintings.

Kirsten is a contemporary semi-abstract landscape painter, working in a variety of mediums. Her landscapes draw from the space and sense of the wild she finds in Cornwall.
