Shirley
Carnt
has lived on the Norfolk coast in England for
most of her life. One of Norfolk’s best-known landscape painters,
she portrays the ever-changing light and big open skies of the marsh,
sea and coastline that she knows so well.
Her love of the outdoors and understanding of nature shows through
in her work, not least in the atmospheric paintings, often depicting
birds and animals, of the beautiful and still virtually unspoilt coastline
and countryside.
Shirley also travels widely – whether to Outer-Mongolia or Alaska,
Scotland or Patagonia – always with a sketch book full of drawing
and watercolours which becomes a valuable reference when she returns
to her studio.
A selection of her work currently available is shown on
the
paintings pages. |
