IV" is available through the gallery. This is the
third collection of work from Amanda's ongoing coastal walk.
This section of the journey starts from Falmouth Bay to Saltash.
"As
ever, I find that getting started is the hardest part of creating
a new body of work, but the more I paint, the more freely
ideas flow and the more I feel that I can relax into the process.
As I paint, everything else gets held at bay and only the
painting matters; I am completely 'there' and in the moment,
and the challenges of day to day life simply melt away."

A

Hoskin's 2009 exhibition "Colours, Coast and Sea
Ill" is available through the gallery. This is the
third collection of work from Amanda's ongoing coastal walk.
This section of the journey starts from Cape Cornwall to Pendennis
Head.
"My
choice of subject for this collection has been purely and
simply dictated by the emotional draw I have felt to the particular
places that I arrived at on my journey and this in turn has
been determined by a love of the landscape and particular
quality of the light. The sweeping form of the headland at
Kynance combined with the misty light; the shape of a hedge
in the landscape; the brooding evening skies in Mounts Bay
or across Falmouth Bay to St. Anthony are all deeply inspiring
to me."

second collection of work from Amanda's ongoing coastal walk.
This section of the journey starts from St Agnes and ends
at Cape Cornwall.
"Painting
is very much a necessity for me, even when I'm not physically
painting I am persistantly painting in my mind. I am inspired
by the landscape continually and even day-to-day events like
taking my daughter to school, provide me with renewed connections
and starting points for paintings. My drive is the recreation
of moments in a way that has meaning. Through these works
I can be less solitary, sharing something of myself in a visual
and emotional way that portrays the landscape that involves
us all - through experience, memory and emotion - a process
that I love and cannot be without."

Hoskin's 2007 exhibition "Colours, Coast and Sea
l" is available through the gallery.
"This
show is the start of a long-term project for me - walking
the Cornish Coast. I decided to do 100 miles for each section
and each show. For me it is a way to see new areas of Cornwall
that I haven't visited or painted before. Starting at Bude
and finishing this part of the walk at Padstow, this is an
area I know very little about. It is a challenging stretch
of the coast, very wild with steep rugged cliffs, dramatic
skies and sweeping white sands of the Camel Estuary."

A

2008 exhibition "Waterfront" is available
through the gallery.
"Working
in Newlyn, you cannot help but be affected by the masculine,
slightly dangerous feeling of a working port. This has influenced
my work significantly, as I have become increasingly engaged
in the working life of the people amongst whom I too live
and work. My focus has been intensified by the prevailing
sense of change in Cornwall's working ports,which may soon
obliterate an entire way of life. This collection then reflects
an urgent need to record working life as it is today, has
been for centuries, and could soon be no more."

Tozer's 2008 exhibition "Close to Home"
is available through the gallery.
"These
works represent an artist's year in Falmouth, from the quietness
of out-of-season and the bleakness of a February afternoon,
to the intense colour and light of high summer beaches. In
painting Falmouth anew, my work has developed and I consider
this collection to be a step forward for me as a painter.
I have enjoyed feeling slightly on the edge, taking traditional
views and treating them differently. Even now I feel that
I have only begun to scratch the surface of the immense visual
experience that is Falmouth for me."

Sense of Place
A

Tuff''s 2009 exhibition "A Sense of Place"
is available through the gallery.
"Throughout
this time I have been drawn back to particular places again
and again for different reasons. Some places have connections
to my family life- where we might often go for walks or days
out, some places because of the memories that they hold and
some places because I know that they make for a fantastic
painting. When I work back in the studio my paintings become
a diffusion of these memories and connections alongside the
physicality of the actual paint on the paper - the patterns,
colours, shapes and rhythms that occur."
