Tresco Artists

Alasdair Urquhart
Tresco inspires through its other world beauty and serenity, eliciting a sense of quiet adoration and deep gratitude, for this radiant pearl of an isle.

Binny Matthews
As an English impressionist and colourist, Binny Matthews has recorded these fleeting moments that are so unique to this beautiful archipelago.

Catherine Harvey Jefferson
Colour, vibrant and expressive, is the cornerstone of Catherine's work, which has taken her to wild and beautiful places around the world.

Chris Hankey
...all the paintings in this exhibition have painted here on Tresco

David Thomas
I am attracted to images which have strong contrasts of light and shade, and these can be both portraits and landscapes.

Eleanor Dorrien-Smith
These charcoals are the beginning of my return to drawing and painting and I couldn’t be more excited.

Ellen Watson
Whether I’m enjoying blistering calm or howling wind, it’s always a privilege to paint the Isles of Scilly.

Ellie Verrecchia
My residency in February exposed me to the weather of Storm Ciara. Heavy skies, white shell-sand and aqua water created dramatic colour for me to enjoy in paint.

Fiona Hufton
Since moving to Tresco, my paintings have become brighter, looser and more colourful.

Fran Spencer
Tresco is a very special place, it makes you stop and look.

Gary Long
For this year’s paintings I chose to concentrate on the wooded pathways that lead to the four corners of the island with its many vistas and resting places.

Hugo Grenville
He finds great inspiration in the heightened sense of light and colour which characterise Scilly at all times of year.
