Southwold Artists
We will be showcasing the work of four Southwold artists over the Spring all four artists have lived and worked in Southwold for many years and continue to use the surrounding landscape as a source of inspiration for their work.
Each artist has been professionally trained and has exhibited around the country in many exhibitions.
The four artists have very different styles and painting techniques and
all have achieved a very strong individual following for their works.

Marc Brown
Marc Brown was born in Southwold in 1968. Since graduating from Manchester University he has exhibited his paintings all over the country and has been exhibiting with the Serena Hall Gallery for 20 years. Marc's work captures the often remote places that can be found along the East Anglian coastline. Working in mixed media, his paintings can be seen as a reflection of his interests in unusual compositions and veiwpoints.
He will have a new collection of paintings on show.

NIck Pratt
Nicolas Pratt has been a working artist most of his life, always drawing and sculpting. Working in a variety of materials such as wood and limestone he produces animal and figurative sculptures that are strong and bold in their design and shape. Cleverly working the material he brings to life a creature from his bare hands. His home in Ferry road, Southwold, overlooks the marshes and the sea and this gives him a window out onto the wildlife that he adores and is fasinated by. His wonderful charcoal drawing's are lively and spontaneous and capture the essence of the birds personalities. We are delighted to be showing a selection of Nick's work in this exhibition.
Andrew Pitt
Andrew Pitt paints 'plein air' meaning, outside. He loves to paint quickly and spontaneously, capturing the movement of the weather and the people in the ink and brushstrokes of his paintings. Andrew has had over 30 years experience of painting, exhibiting and teaching.
His watercolours of Southwold and the surrounding area have been selling in the gallery for many years and we are looking forwards to his live demonstration on the day of the festival!

Serena Hall
Serena Hall graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 1995 and has worked as a full time professional artist ever since. Her family home in Ferry road, Southwold gave her endless inspiration as her bedroom overlooked the sea and the marshland and harbour views were part of her garden.
She has always been fasinated with colour and enjoys the work of the impressionist's and fauvism. She wishes to interpret an emotional response to a time and place rather than a true photographic representation.
Serena has won several national awards and has her work in private collections all over the world.
