About Serena, a Cornish Artist Based in Padstow
Serena is a popular Cornish artist who lives and works in Padstow, a small fishing town on the North Cornwall coast.
For over 30 years, Serena's art has made its way in to peoples homes around the world. Her original art takes an average of 2 - 3 months per painting which is partly why she has specialised in selling art prints.
At first it was very much a learning curve, with her parents helping her get copies of her paintings (as she was just 16 at the time). Over the years, Serena has found the best methods to reproduce her artwork using the best UV resistant inks and papers to accurately portray her original artwork and make them accessible to everyone.
She prides herself on the quality of her art prints!
Educated at home by her mother, a former stage manager and actress, whilst her father, a graduate from the Royal College of Art encouraged her progress.
Her style is unique and difficult to categorise. However, it is generally accepted that it falls into the naive/primitive style.
She is a member of the Association of British Naive Artists.
The collection of paintings have come to be called 'The Salad Days.'
Serena is known as the "Happy Lowry!”
Her artwork evokes happy memories of holidays, especially in Cornwall.
There is always something new to find in her paintings, which are always lovingly splashed with her fun sense of humour.
