Having lived by the coast for much of my youth I was drawn to the work of Rebecca Lardner as I walked past a gallery door. The lovely colours and soft oil colours provide an earthyness that makes you believe you are a watcher peering out from your cosy home by the coast.
The artist Rebecca Lardners work is frequently set within the surrounding arms of a English harbour with lots of activity moving in and out like the ocean. Often you see walkers and birds moving about their daily activities all adding warmth to the images. She started her work after completing an Art Foundation Course she moved on from the University of Liverpool with a BA Honours degree in Illustration.
Following a very successful career as an artist and illustrator starting out creating greeting cards. Rebecca Lardner now produces mostly original art works for magazines and record sleeves she has also created work for Paul McCartneys Music Academy. Influenced by Cornish painter Alfred Wallis her vibrant use of Oils on canvas pulls out the feeling of the coast.
Rebecca Lardner has created out, sought after corporate commissions all over the planet from Ireland to India. Rebecca Lardners work can be discovered in high calibre galleries across the UK, her evocative work being sought after all over the planet. I personally like her work because of the feeling she puts into each of the pictures, all of the colours work and the feel you get from her pictures are ones you want to keep returning to for another viewing.
