Angie Seaway 

Angie Seaway is an expressive landscape artist. She paints Britain’s obsession with the weather! After extensive travelling, she realised that as a country we comment on it with frequency and emotion and her paintings are a celebration of that. 'All the titles are derived from snippets of daily weather forecasts which I hope are both as descriptive and evocative as the paintings themselves'.

Angie lives just minutes from the East Devon coastline in Exmouth and paints her response to the influence of the ever-changing elements on the South West landscape. Her paintings reflect the impact of the weather on the scene she is portraying, the dance between sea, sand and sky and her emotional and expressive reaction to it. 

She works in a dynamic way, always starting to paint ‘en plein air’, out in the environment, with all the inherent risks this brings such as sea gulls flying off with paint tubes, chasing canvases down the beach and the extra bits of texture as the sand lands on the wet painting! Paint is poured over lines of charcoal and ink with pigments, glazes and texture being added as she works.

'I want the paintings to look and feel like they  have been painted with paint unashamedly behaving like paint... even with clumps and drips.I am always seeking to create paintings that are full of movement and vigour'.

Angie began painting in her early thirties and went onto study Fine Art at Plymouth University. She has been exhibiting and selling her work via galleries ever since.

'I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed painting them. I have just completed a book, Painting the East Devon Coast which shows 28 paintings completed over the course of one winter'.
