Poster artist (paint on paper)

Poster artist currently celebrating the dramatic North Devon coastline by painting a mix of vintage & modern style travel posters in vibrant acrylic paint colours on paper.

The inspiration for my travel posters came from a visit to Sanremo in Italy, where the local Tourist Office proudly displayed a selection of vintage marketing posters for the region.

The vintage posters were eye catching & beautifully showcased ‘La Riviera Dei Fiori’ (the region). Some prints were also free to take away.

My prints from Sanremo were framed & have been hanging on my wall ever since!

The prints provide a reminder of the nostalgic feel and sense of style that is captured so well by hand painted posters (well before the digital era). They also evoke a strong sense of holiday spirit by featuring stunning locations to visit.

I started painting posters because I wanted to try & do something similar for my local region and now have a collection of poster prints available for sale in different sizes.

Please note that the location of my open house; a top floor apartment features many stairs, but they are worth the climb to enjoy the front-line view of Ilfracombe Harbour.
