It is a pleasure to welcome Ben Lucas to the gallery for the first time.

Ben is a painter who is interested in conveying emotions evoked by the natural landscape.



After returning from Australia in 2022 Ben is currently painting in his new studio on the North Devon Coast in the UK where he works alongside his wife – the highly regarded studio potter Elke Lucas.



'For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to the sea. Growing up on the storm-swept coast on the North Devon/Cornish border surfing became a defining passion in my life. It has since taken me on a journey of discovery and exploration across the world’s oceans. As an artist, my desire is to express the sense of awe, wonder and joy that the ocean gives me.'
