He has enjoyed two very successful solo shows at The Great Atlantic where his vibrant and atmospheric landscape paintings are finding much acclaim.

Across Bosvargus to Jericho Farm Jenny Devereux. Jennys 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.

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

Strange Seed Heads Andrew Giddens was born in Dorset in 1976 and moved to Cornwall in 1991. After attending Falmouth College of Art he continued his studies at The Arts Institute in Bournemouth. Since Andrews first solo exhibition at The Great Atlantic in 2003, he has quickly established himself as one of our most popular and sought after artists and each exhibition has been a resounding success. It is a testament to this young artists appeal that the foreword to his book Coastline was written by Sir Tim Rice.

Across the bay Roy Goodman has drawn and painted all his life. He chose not to attend art school, preferring instead to study the masters and copy their works, he then went on to develop his own individual style and technique. Roy lives in Cornwall and has spent many years as a research scientist. He now paints full time and has been exhibiting in Cornish galleries since 1996. Because of his interest in the intellectual side of art, as well as being a practitioner, he is currently studying for an MA in the History of 20th century Art and Design.
