Beachscapes Portfolio

'Beachscapes’ explores holiday memories; inspired by where I live in Cornwall and childhood memories of busy beaches in the height of summer, I aim to capture that holiday feeling on canvas.

This style was inspired by a much loved painter, L.S. Lowry, and mixed in with my love of the Cornish coast. My beachscapes feel like a world away from the mill scenes and industrial landscapes of Lowry’s work; where the figures are often leaning forward with heads down, moving towards their destination rather than enjoying being where they are. And yet many people are reminded of Lowry when they look at these paintings. In these paintings I want people to be able to spend time looking around all elements of the picture; seeing something new or conjuring a cherished holiday memory with every glance.
