Laurie is also a photographer with an eye for capturing stunning images of waves as they barrel toward the shoreline.

Sculptor Tamsyn Trevorrow’s artwork takes inspiration from her enduring relationship with the sea and coastline of West Cornwall. The fired and glazed pieces reflect the textures and colours of this rugged stretch of coastline home to mining heritage, wild ocean vistas, and awe-inspiring granite rock formations.
Our Inspired by the Coast series continues with Devon based artist and illustrator Charlotte Atkinson who creates paintings with a sensory connection to nature reflecting her love of yoga and painting outdoors. Her newest collection will draw you into an atmospheric dream world.
