New Paintings by Lucy Almey Bird
Always guaranteed to raise a smile - we've some amazing new paintings by Lucy Almey Bird!
Lucy grew up in rural Somerset. She was always encouraged to draw and paint from an early age and was taken on regular trips to galleries and museums, which ignited her passion for art.
She paints mostly in acrylics and takes inspiration from everyday life. Domestic scenes feature regularly in her paintings, depicting a romanticised, gentler look at life.
New Paintings by Tracey Elphick
Tracey's gorgeous, mixed media still lifes are inspired by her ever-growing collection of vintage ceramics and contemporary vessels, together with flowers and foliage from her garden and the local countryside. She often adds fruits, birds or fish to her compositions.
"Over the past couple of years, garden birds have been a great source of interest as a subject for me. I like to paint the them approximately life size, trying to capture something of their character and form in a minimal amount of loose but carefully placed brush strokes."
New Paintings by Andrew Jago
Andrew grew up in St Mabyn, a small village in North Cornwall, nestled neatly in between the moors and the coast. He loved to sketch and explore woodlands, the parish valleys and rugged coastline around Polzeath and Camel Estuary.
Painting in the open air over many years has helped him to develop the tonal subtleties of his colour palette. His aim is to express the nuances of atmosphere and a sense of place. He uses loose and dynamic brushwork, conveying the immediacy and freshness of a sketch in a
finished painting.
New Work by Lynn Muir
Lynn was born in East Anglia and trained at Colchester School of Art where she gained her degree in illustration and design. After leaving college she worked in theatrical design. Lynn moved to Cornwall with her husband and three children and in 1986 set up her workshop.
She uses mainly driftwood which she collects from the local beaches and lets the shape and form of the wood suggest figurative forms to her and then works on it with machine saws, powered sander wheel and hand
tools. She then ‘illustrates’ the shaped wood with paint and pen.
New Paintings by Lucy Davies
Lucy has added six wonderful new paintings to her collection here at Mid Cornwall Galleries.
A keen walker, Lucy always takes her camera and sketchbook with her on trips to record new images so she has plenty of inspiration in the cold winter months when she’s tucked away in her studio.
She trained at St Martins and Brighton and has a BA (Hons) in graphic design, specialising in illustration.
Lucy was shortlisted to appear in the very first series of Sky’s Landscape Artist of the Year in 2015

New Paintings by Angie Rooke
We're thrilled to welcome Angie to the gallery. Her gorgeous paintings are just the tonic for these winter months.
Angie lives in a small village situated on the edge of the Somerset Levels. With a view of Glastonbury Tor from her front door and rolling hills behind her, she spends her days among the trees and wildlife with her two dogs.
"Such is the beauty and mystery of this atmospheric landscape that I struggle to put my feelings for it into words and so I try to depict it with paint."
