sue read - Cornwall Seascapes

Cornwall Seascapes and coastal paintings created by Sue Read, a Cornish artist in Bude, North Cornwall.

My seascapes and coastal paintings of Cornwall are  full of moving skies and dramatic seas veiled with the layering of the unique Cornish light. 

 There is a sense of timelessness in the pull of the tides. The coast is varied and each beach a different palette of colour. They have been shaped by the weather and waves of the North Cornish coast over the centuries.

I am happiest in the water and this last year I have been in the sea all year round.  It’s a place to imagine new works and really connect with nature, to be conscious of what is precious in my life.  The ideas and  memories become part of the conversation I have with paint  back in the studio.

Lying just outside of Bude on the coast of North Cornwall,  I work from a beautiful barn studio on a farm that has been in my family since the early 1900’s .

As well as originals, I offer a large print collection on paper and luxury canvas to bring the sea into your home, take you back to the coast and relive your memories.
