Living by the sea for a lot of my younger years I was drawn to the work of Rebecca Lardner as I jogged past a gallery window. The lovely colours and soft oil colours give an earthyness that makes you feel like a watcher looking out from your cosy home by the sea.

The artist Rebecca Lardners work is often set in the surrounding arms of a traditional harbour with lots of activity passing in and out like the ocean. Often you see walkers and gulls moving about their daily activities all adding warmth to the images. She began her career after completing an Art Foundation Course she graduated from the University of Liverpool with a BA Honours degree in Illustration.

Following a very successful time as an artist and illustrator starting out making greeting cards. Rebecca Lardner now produces mostly original art works for magazines and record sleeves she has also done work for Paul McCartneys Music Academy. Inspired by Cornish painter Alfred Wallis her vibrant use of Oils on canvas draws out the energy of the sea.

Rebecca Lardner has carried out, sought after corporate commissions across the globe from Ireland to India. Rebecca Lardners work can be found in high calibre galleries across the United Kingdom, her evocative work being sought after all over the world. I particularly love her paintings because of the character she puts into each of the pictures, all of the colours work and the feel you get from her creations are ones you want to keep going back to for another look.
