Floral Cove by Rebecca Lardner
Rebecca’s distinctive oils on canvas are beautifully depicted portrayals of life on the land and the sea. The large ensemble cast of figures, boats and sea birds creates an impression of ceaseless activity, and this is heightened by the natural curves of the classic English harbour which provide movement and energy. Her palette is based strongly on the colours of the sea, with blues, greens and greys dominating the entire canvas. Favourite subjects include the natural wildlife of these areas including gulls and geese.
Rebecca was born in Purbeck, Dorset in 1971. After completing an Art Foundation Course she graduated from the University of Liverpool with a BA Honours degree in Illustration. She went on to build a highly successful career as an artist and illustrator, fulfilling commissions for a number of high-profile clients including Paul McCartney’s Music Academy, as well as a range of magazines and record sleeves.
After school Rebecca attained BA Hons degree in Graphic Design specialising in illustration at Liverpool University. Since graduation has worked as a professional artist and illustrator. In 1995 she designed, made and installed 24 animated windows for the prestigious Brown Thomas in Dublin for the Christmas lights in 1995.
In 1998 she travelled to Southern India to paint a mural for the Russ Foundation before travelling to continue her painting. Her work has been publicised worldwide through her illustrations and publications and her limited edition prints reach outlets throughout Europe and America. She regularly exhibits with leading galleries in the UK and her delightful naive paintings are bought by collectors worldwide.
Rebecca is now able to devote more time to her painting and has travelled the world from Ireland to India undertaking prestigious corporate commissions. She has exhibited in a range of high calibre galleries in the UK, Europe and the USA and her evocative oils sell to collectors from all over the world.
The ceaseless activity of Rebecca’s coastal scenes has led critics to call her ‘the modern day Lowry’ after the great L.S.Lowry, trading the industrial North for her homeland on the South Coast.
Rebecca Lardner was awarded the Fine Art Trade Guild business award in the category of Best Selling Up and Coming Artist 2008 and Best Selling British Artist 2010.
