Tresco Artists
Nicola Hancox
I could not wait to get started on this collection of paintings upon my return from my artist week on tresco last October.
Patricia Wilson
This series of work inspired by Tresco begins a new phase that explores my deepening relationship with the wild, beautiful and unique coastline and moorland, which, as elsewhere, is under increasing threat because of global warming.
Paul Lewin
I am always drawing, looking at the landscape from new angles, searching for a glimpse of an exciting composition. Sketches and notes are made on the spot and then I will return with my full kit of paints and mixed media, hoping to capture something of the enormity of the landscape that is before me. I try to finish my paintings in one sitting when outside because experience has told me that the weather cannot be trusted to repeat itself!
Ramie Leahy
I traversed the island to catch its atmosphere, the views, the fishing boats and their catch from the deep sea.
Richard Guy
For such a small geographic area, Tresco really packs a lot in, and it is the richly varied interior that I have mainly concentrated on for this show.
Rob Braybrooks
I’ve been inspired to look for those familiar silhouettes that stand out in the Tresco landscape. Trees, birds, boats, buildings, water and landforms. I hope you enjoy them.
Rosemary Trestini
This time I've tried to capture the timelessness and tranquillity of this unique place.
Saul Cathcart
The changeable weather and time limit to create the collection forced me to work fast and not overthink it. It excites me to paint in this intuitive and expressive way, out in the open. As a result, my paintings feel more like a collaboration with the place rather than a reproduction of it.
Sophie Harding
I’ve aimed to capture the feelings of pure joy, calm, seclusion and peace which I experience each time I visit tresco.
Stuart Kettle
From 'Wake up and Smell the Coffee’, 'Fish & Chips', a view from a 'Cottage Window' or a 'Walk on the Beach’, each painting is a reflection of time spent expressing everyday life on Scilly.
Teresa Pemberton
Combining still life objects with a hinterland of sea or landscape has always been a favourite subject. I hope you enjoy this year's collection.
Theo Crutchley-Mack
Spending one month on Tresco making sketches is the idyllic approach to escaping from reality and focusing on developing a body of paintings. Anyone who has visited Tresco would understand the escapist sensation that surrounds the island.
