Inspired by the Coast

Inspired by the Coast – Ingrid Brown

Ingrid Brown is an artist based in Cornwall, who takes much of her inspiration from walks, time in nature, human interaction and the subtle rhythms of daily life at home and elsewhere. Her painted artworks are often created outside, ‘en plein air’; where she is exposed to the natural elements of the ever-changing Cornish weather.
