Tresco Artists
Iona Sanders
My residency this year was in January, and the overwhelming feeling I had was of quiet contemplation whilst walking around the island and enjoying the magnificent skies!
James Osborne
These are a collection of paintings inspired by plein air sketches and memories made during my winter residency of 2019.
Jenny Ulyatt
We had a mini February heatwave with pink light and blue skies that week, and I painted and sketched
John Bampfield
These paintings are my attempt to convey something of how it feels to me to be on Tresco. I use colours and textures, knowledge and imagination, and paint.
Jon Evison
The island becomes part of me again and things happen very naturally in Tresco time and on the islands terms, bliss. During this trip I was treated to constantly changing weather and a little bit of everything. I hope that I captured a little bit of Tresco time for you.
Lizzie Black
The dancing light reflecting from a neighbouring jug or even the warmth of a shadow from a flower onto a surface are explored with equal curiosity and interest. This lively work radiates hopefulness and vitality.
Maggie O’Brien
What with the tropical skies and the equally exotic nerine fields, it was all about pink despite the fact that it was late November.
Melanie Max
I hope this collection of paintings reflects the peacefulness I find there and hope they bring a feeling of calm to others too
Morag Hensleigh
In looking at birds this collection of paintings express that sense of freedom and expanse that you feel on the islands.
Neil Pinkett
This year’s little collection is of the Scillonian, a vessel dear to my heart and thankfully kind to my stomach though not everyone feels the same.
Nick Botting
For most people a visit to Tresco is an escape from what we are used to, and an opportunity really to reflect.
Nicky Walker
I found myself producing a mixed bag of work from turquoise seas to misty, moisty mornings, watching the Blockhouse appear and disappear in that mystical yellow light that sometimes pervades the island.
