Rebecca Lardner
Rebecca was born in Swanage, Dorset in 1971. After
completing an Art Foundation Course she graduated from the University
of Liverpool with a BA Honours degree in Illustration. She went
on to build a highly successful career as an artist and illustrator,
fulfiling commissions for a number of high-profile clients including
Paul McCartney’s Music Academy, as well as a range of
magazines and record sleeves.
Influenced by 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.
