Tresco Artists
Gary Long
For this year’s paintings I chose to concentrate on the wooded pathways that lead to the four corners of the island with its many vistas and resting places.
Hugo Grenville
He finds great inspiration in the heightened sense of light and colour which characterise Scilly at all times of year.
Imogen Bone
I endeavour to keep a freshness and freedom to my paintings but have them underpinned with accurately delineated realism.
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!
Jim Osborne
Through the medium of paint, I aim to recapture the atmospheres and rhythms, russet islands and turquoise seas that so vividly colour my experience.
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.
John Dyer
I try to capture the essence of this special place in my paintings and hope that they radiate fun, energy and colour to all who view them.
Katrina Wilkie
As a landscape painter who loves colour and shape, Tresco offers me a feast of subjects.
Lizzie Black AROI
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.
Marie Mills
I am a messy worker, using oils to their maximum potential, layer after layer, scraping and adding more layers! I use pallet knives, brushes, fingers and oil bar.
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
