Hello. I’m Trish Ampleford and I am an abstract artist painting predominantly in acrylics and fluid acrylics.

My work is hugely inspired by the sea and the sky in South West Cornwall, in particular the coastline around Fowey and Lantic Bay. The sea calls to my soul, despite the fact I live in landlocked Oxfordshire. I love to capture breaking waves and restless tides, depicting the unstoppable force of nature that is the ocean. You’ll often see me staring at the sky. Its light, colours and shapes inspire me to create soothing pieces in blues, purples, greens and pinks.

In 2023 had a piece selected for exhibiting by The Oxford Art Society and I regularly exhibit locally at various galleries.

I work from my home art room on a part-time basis and currently sell my work via exhibitions, Instagram and my website. I am currently able to take commissions, so please contact me if this is something you are interested in.

I hope you like my art. If you have any questions just contact me using the form below. I’d love to hear from you.

“As soon as I saw Trish’s pictures I knew that I would be thrilled and privileged to own one. The paintings capture so much the sense of depth and movement which are found in clouds, sea and sky. Some of the canvases are more abstract and have a rich palette of colours and shapes, but for me I love the ones which seem to evoke the coast and ocean. Trish’s pictures are an absolute bargain for the number of work-hours they represent, and the pleasure they bring.”

“I bought a beautiful seascape by Trish at an exhibition in Abingdon a few months ago. It’s a lovely rendering of the sea and sky which reminds me so much of Cornwall. A gorgeous little picture I will cherish for years to come.”
