Winter Cove Painting

I am an artist and illustrator living in Cornwall, UK whose work has been exhibited and sold all over the world. I trained initially in the theatre, focusing on scenic art, puppetry and mask making before moving into fine art and illustration. I was the house artist for Trapdoor Theatre Company from 2000 – 2004 and have spent time in the props department of the Royal Opera House and crafting puppets for NYC’s Stagedoor Manor Theatre Training Camp. I paint predominantly in acrylics, layering colour finely to create beautifully lit landscapes and covering a wide variety of subject matter. I also work regularly for festivals, circus and theatre companies producing scenic art and props and is a Trustee for the Lafrowda Arts Festival. I am lucky enough to be the Manager of the renowned Penwith Gallery, St Ives, and I have led workshops for adults and children in everything from fine art to mask making and withy modelling.
