Frankie Creith
Frankie Creith is an internationally exhibited artist who grew up in the Bushmills countryside on the north coast of Northern Ireland. She now lives and works a stone’s throw away in the seaside town of Portrush.
Frankie's work has been published, televised and held in both private and public collections worldwide, including the prestigious Victoria & Albert Museum London, home to the world’s largest collection of Applied Art.
David Boyd
Having spent the first 16 years of his life growing up on the North Coast of Ireland, David moved to New Zealand as a 16 year old with his family. Six years later he returned to a new life in London intending to pursue a career in photography, and with his other passion being music, a new window opened. After a long career in the music industry in London he returned to the North Coast with his family.
During lock down he found his love for photography again. Inspired by the beautiful coast, the ever changing light and the people. For now he mostly takes his influences from what and who he encounters as he travels around the coast. Happy, free, nostalgic, peaceful.
Sarah Carrington
Sarah has been exhibiting widely throughout the UK, including galleries in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Northern Ireland, throughout England and London, and carrying out numerous private and public commissions.
Sarah moved to the north coast of Northern Ireland in 2009, where as a landscape painter the surrounding area constantly inspires and challenges me in my work. I enjoy exploring and experiencing the dramatic coastline in all seasons and weathers, which I express through paint and mixed media techniques in my paintings.
Elaine Murdock
Elaine's painting process begins with her love of the local North Coast rural and coastal landscape. She collects sketches and studies of its stunning and often fleeting variations. Back in the studio these references, conceived in oil on canvas, pay homage to the calm beauty of the isolated landscape.
Elaine has always been drawn to isolated locations in the opening scenes of films.
“I love the anticipation of a story about to unfold. In a comparable way I see stories everywhere I go in my rural landscape and this drives me to share them on canvas.”
Keith Drury
Keith cannot remember a time when he did not draw or make 'stuff'. After years of trying new styles and mediums, Keith has developed his own unique style which presents a vibrant and contemporary interpretation of the urban landscape. Months of exacting work go into each picture often yielding surprises to the eagle-eyed, or to those who use magnifying glasses!
Over the years, Keith’s ‘When I Dream’ art series has become one of the top-selling range of artworks. Commercially his work has found its way into every world continent, appeared in advertising campaigns, jigsaws and luxury chocolate tins. Although used by the rich and famous, the artworks are created simply to be enjoyed and to be a talking point on anyone's wall.
Bernard McCullagh
Bernard McCullagh lives in Portstewart, a beautiful seaside town on the windswept north Antrim coast of Ireland. His paintings feel instinctively like the places they represent on the rugged and infamously breathtaking areas of natural beauty which are home to the Giants Causeway and the renowned Game of Thrones locations on the most northerly Irish coastline.
Bernard expresses this through a combination of colours, layers, textures and tones. As a landscape and seascape artist he continues to assert a sense of distinct identity through his unique style which he creatively captures in his paintings.
