If you're visiting St Ives in the next week or so don't miss the Penny Rumble exhibition "WE’RE ALL AT SEA" in the town's historically important Crypt Gallery. The Crypt is where it all started in terms of St Ives Modernism, where artists like Peter Lanyon, Patrick Heron and Bryan Wynter established their illustrious careers.

Christine was raised in St Ives, Cornwall. Drawing and painting has always been an important thread throughout her life. A natural way to express herself from childhood to the present day. Most of her work is in acrylic, occasionally mixed media, where she creates atmospheric and expressive interpretations of her experiences and environment...

Elizabeth has loved to paint throughout her life on a daily basis and it is a source of joy and constant exploration for her. The sheer pleasure she derives and the passion she feels comes across in the diverse subject matter and vibrant colours of her work. Growing up in a small village in Cambridgeshire Elizabeth spent long days walking and cycling out in the fields and lanes.

Karen lives and works in West Cornwall where she is drawn by the movement of waves, surf, foam and spray to produce adventurous, bold seascapes. She also paints landscapes and well-known Cornish landmarks in her own distinctive style, using bold block brush strokes and sundry household items such as a kitchen scourer to achieve the desired effect.
