This page features artists influenced by the Southwest, who have achieved international recognition. Many of the artists linked with St. Ives & Newlyn have been incomers who have chosen west Cornwall as a place to work. Being a Cornishman myself, it is easy for me to understand this. It's virtually imposssible not to be deeply influenced by the physical forms and sheer quality of light in these surroundings. Here you will find some of Penwith's pedigrees! All works are original, signed and dated by the artist.
