The big skies and ever changing light of the North Cornish coast are Jethro’s constant inspiration. His oil on board seascapes and landscapes capture the expansiveness, wildness and unique mood of this much loved part of Cornwall for those who love it as much as he does.

Elsa’s inspiration comes from landscape, both the Cotswolds countryside where she lives, and places she has visited. The Umbrian Hills, the wild north of Scotland, the Cornish coast. Her interest in abstraction was sparked by the construction and composition of landscape, and also of flowers - a fascination with their colours, textures and patterns.
David’s paintings have seemingly simple compositions. They celebrate the innocence of awkward lines and are completely without ego. Inspired by St Ives artists like Hilton, Wallis and Heron, David’s exciting use of colour and distinct style has been exhibited widely in the US and Europe.
Ann’s work is a direct response to everyday objects around her at home, and the coastline where she walks daily. The paintings start off as tiny versions on newspaper. These are pasted into sketchbooks and used for reference. Primarily oil on board or canvas, under-painting is integral to the process and gives Ann’s work its characteristic depth.
Working with oils and a palette knife, Georgia’s semi abstract landscapes are full of depth and texture. Georgia has made frequent trips to this part of Cornwall throughout her life since childhood. She cites the combination of ‘wildness and familiarity’ of this landscape as inspiration for her distinctive paintings.
As a travelling seascape painter, her quest for new aerial views, colour palettes and scenes of human coastal activity has taken Nina all over the world. But it’s here in Cornwall that she is at home. Nina uses acrylics on board and canvas to capture the colour and atmosphere of beach and sea life from above.
