Michael Sanders is an artist who paints fresh, contemporary pieces inspired by coastal areas of the UK, with a particular emphasis on Cornwall, and the area of the Helford river where he has a studio. Michael’s paintings capture the ever-changing light and colour of landscapes that inspire him.

He paints large-scale, mixed media canvasses, which are both tactile and atmospheric. Michael’s paintings, which have sold all around the world, depict the seasons and the ever-changing colours of the sea, sky and light and he uses light and colours to reflect the diverse moods of nature. ‘I am never happier than when painting in the sanctuary of my studio, alone with my thoughts, paints and the backdrop of gentle music to help me along,” he says.
