Rebecca Lardner - The Artist
Born in Swanage, Dorset, October 1971. Rebecca Lardner completed an art foundation at Bournemouth and Poole College of Art & Design and then a BA honours degree in illustration at Sir John Moore's university Liverpool.
Influenced by the southwest and its coastline, her recent oil paintings on canvas depict life at the sea, especially harbours using blues, greens and subtle tones to depict the scene.
Rebecca is constantly exhibiting in a range of top galleries in the UK and her work is collected throughout Europe, America and other reaches of the world.
Rebecca Lardner is also Influenced by the Cornish artist Alfred Wallis, Rebecca's distinctive oils on canvas are beautifully depicted portrayals of life on the land and the sea. The large ensemble cast of figures, boats and sea birds creates an impression of ceaseless activity, and this is heightened by the natural curves of the classic English harbour which provide movement and energy. Her palette is based strongly on the colours of the sea, with blues, greens and greys dominating the entire canvas.
Rebecca is now able to devote more time to her painting and has travelled the world from Ireland to India undertaking prestigious corporate commissions. She has exhibited in a range of high calibre galleries in the UK, Europe and the USA and her evocative oils sell to collectors from all over the world.
