Beccy Marshall
Beccy Marshall was born in West Penwith, Cornwall, in a small village that lies under the granite tors and moorlands that link the North coast to the South. She studied A level Art and Ceramics at Cornwall College and later under Colin Scott at Penzance Art School. Influenced by Scandinavian Folk Art and by the heritage of West Cornwall painters, Beccy focuses on texture and colour, keeping her paintings simple and symbolic.
She likes to paint on old panels , breathing new life into something that would normally be discarded to the scrap heap. Quite often the panel itself dictates what she paints on it creating harmony between the painting and the panel itself. Beccy spends a lot of time walking the cliffs and the valleys that surround her. A sketch book and pencil always in her pocket, ready to
scribble down a certain view, headland or homestead that can be the start of a new painting.
Over the years she has sold her work to a large number of private and corporate art collectors both in the UK and further afield.
