Rebecca Lardner

Artist details: Rebecca's quintessentiall British style originates in her Dorset upbringing and her love of the distinctive coastline has been the mainstay of her success. Trained in art to degree level, she forged an early career in illustration, but her future as a fine artist was always inevitable.

Rebecca's distinctive pictures are beautifully depicted portrayals of life on the land and the sea. The large ensemble cast of figures, boats and sea birds creates an impression of ceaseless activity, and this is heightened by the natural curves of the classic English harbour which provide movement and energy. Her palette is based strongly on the colours of the sea, with blues, greens and greys dominating.
