Giles Ward News

Childhood memories of holidaying in coastal areas of the south west have fuelled his chosen subject, as it was on those journeys filled with wonder and discovery where he first fell in love with beach walking and rock-pooling. Having the opportunity to spend time lingering at the water’s edge revealed to him a whole world of activity below, so often overlooked. He recalls beginning to notice a ‘shifting shimmer of colour’ beneath the pool’s surface, then seeing the definitive texture of shells and scales, and the intricate and perfect patterns of nature. He says “This is where my love affair with life in the sea began: in the bottom of a yellow plastic bucket of rock-pool finds.” 

We are thrilled to have launched an enticing collection of vibrant new limited edition prints today. The collection includes work from the ever popular Gary Walton, Dominique Salm, Bev Davies, Nicky Litchfield, Jake Winkle, Sarah Jackson, as well as introducing exciting new marine life artist - Giles Ward.
