MARC FARRELL

Marc was born in 1963 in Peak Dale, Derbyshire. From an early age Marc was inspired by the dramatic, rugged landscape of his home, and bas a result he taught himself to paint. Having lived in Devon since 1975, then later moving to Dartmouth, his love of the open air has led him to focus on Dartmoor and the South Hams coast. He says his best days for painting are when he can just take off and cycle to the moors - his favourite subjects being found near the River Dart from source to the open sea at Dartmouth. Coastguard cottages and Old Mill Creek are other inspirational locations for Marc. Marc paints in watercolour and gouauche and he uses his medium to good effect to reflect the varying light of the seasons on his countryside in South Hams. Marcs love of nature leads him to a precise and detailed representation of his subjects but at a very reduced scale almost miniatures.
