Neil Davies - paintings
It was whilst teaching that Neil first became fascinated with the nature of the Penwith landscape and this still forms the basis of his inspiration today. He has enjoyed two very successful solo shows at The Great Atlantic where his vibrant and atmospheric landscape paintings are finding much acclaim.

Jenny Devereux - etching
Jenny’s beautiful hand printed etchings are widely collected and she is regularly invited to exhibit in Japan. Her work is distinctive and involves the layering of colour and images using a variety of techniques including woodblocks, pressing leaves, printing from antique lace and even silver and gold leaf that is applied and then scratched to create wonderfully textured and decorative images.

Zara Devereux - etching
Zara Devereux lives and works in St. Ives, Cornwall and like her mother, Jenny, Zara’s work is concerned with creating an image using etching techniques. There are definite resonances between the work of mother and daughter; Zara’s prints are just as delicate and beautiful as Jenny’s but still manage to retain their individuality. Zara’s printmaking has been exhibited throughout the country and her skill as a printmaker is highly regarded.

The finely crafted ceramics of Richenda first came to The Great Atlantic’s attention at her graduation show at Falmouth College of Art earlier this year. Since then, her beautiful pots have been attracting much attention and selling fast from the gallery. Rich azure blues, turquoises and jade glazes are accompanied by the unusual white and grey ‘smoked’ pots which are produced using highly specialised firing and glazing techniques.
