SEAWARD

For this new collection of works, St Ives painter Emma Jeffryes

has invested long hours of ‘absolute sea gazing’ from her studio

at Crab Rock, spending days at a time completely absorbed by

the ever changing tides, weather and ocean wave patterns of

St Ives bay. Drawing on a palette of rich coastal colours, Jeffryes’

works record the temperamental beauty of the rolling sea, and

lead us across tranquil low tide sands, beneath clear blue skies

and between the volumous hulls of bright fishing boats in St Ives

harbour. Other works are inspired by the 2014 Falmouth Tall

Ships Regatta Parade of Sail. Documenting one long, hot day in

August when thousands gathered to see the world’s most

spectacular ships sail serenely along the coast and out to the

open sea, Jeffryes’ naively beautiful paintings capture the drama

and grandeur of this unique event.
