'Returning to Gwynver' Original Textured Painting

100cm x 50cm x 3cm | Mixed Media on Canvas | White Handmade Tray Frame

“Returning to Gwynver” captures the wild beauty of one of Cornwall’s most loved surf beaches. Known for its sweeping sands and rolling Atlantic waves, Gwynver is a place of energy, freedom, and return — the kind of shoreline that calls you back time and again.

This piece layers acrylic paint with sand, surfboard fibreglass, and upcycled textiles to recreate the rhythm of the sea. White peaks of textured waves break across deep turquoise waters, their energy softened by the handmade quality of the materials beneath. At the top of the canvas, my grandmother’s tablecloth forms the underlayers, a personal nod to her unwavering support of my creativity. The sandy shoreline is built from an old pair of Levi’s jeans, their seams and stitching woven into the texture — a reminder of life, memory, and story embedded within the work.

“Returning to Gwynver” is framed in a handmade white tray frame, ready to bring the movement and power of Cornwall’s coastline into your home.
