Living by the sea for a lot of my younger years I was attracted to the work of Rebecca Lardner as I jogged by a gallery door. The warm colours and gentle oil colours provide an earthyness that makes you believe you are a watcher looking out from your cosy home by the coast.
The Artist Rebecca Lardners work is frequently set within the enfolding arms of a traditional harbour with constant activity passing in and out like the ocean. Frequently you see walkers and birds moving about their normal activities all adding warmth to the images. She began her work after completing an Art Foundation Course she graduated from the University of Liverpool with a BA Honours degree in Illustration.
Following a highly successful career 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 created work for Paul McCartneys Music Academy. Influenced by Cornish painter Alfred Wallis her vibrant use of Oils on canvas draws out the feeling of the sea.
Rebecca Lardner has created out, sought after corporate commissions all over the planet from Ireland to India. Rebecca Lardners work can be found in top calibre galleries across the UK, her evocative work being sought after all over the world. I personally like her work because of the character she places 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 viewing.
