Stanley Gardiner was the last of the famous Lamorna group of artists, and a much-loved teacher. He was born in Reading, Berkshire on 18 November 1887. On leaving school he was apprenticed to a decorator, but he clearly had aspirations to paint more than walls as in his spare time he used house paint to create paintings on the prepared sides of cardboard boxes. He received a scholarship to Reading University where he studied art. He later continued his formal studies at the Art Academy College in Arbroath, where he specialised in landscape painting and won the Wells Prize in Art.
Gardiner then taught at University College in Reading, before travelling to America where he worked and taught for a few years. He returned to England in World War 1 to enroll, and served in the Armed Forces.
Gardiner married, and in 1922 he and his wife visited Lamorna in Cornwall for a holiday. They fell in love with the place immediately. Gardiner met the artist Samuel John Lamorna Birch, who encouraged him to settle there, and the couple soon moved there on a permanent basis. Indeed, they remained there for the rest of their lives. At first they endured real poverty, living in an army hut behind The Wink Public House. Gardiner worked at making frames for other artists in the Lamorna and Newlyn area, including Lamorna Birch and Stanhope Forbes. He later moved to Lily Cottage, overlooking the river, and formed a small painting school, run from his home, and built his own studio, called Bludor.
In 1926 Gardiner studied at the Forbes School, and he exhibited in the Newlyn Art Gallery Christmas exhibition that same year.
Gardiner’s talent as an artist was soon recognised and he began to exhibit widely, including the Royal Academy (1927-1947), the Royal Watercolour Society, the Fine Art Society, the Irish Salon, the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool and the Berkshire Art Society. He had his first one man show in London in 1939 with 42 paintings of Cornwall. Gardiner was elected an Associate of the Royal Watercolour Society and a member of the New Society of Artists.
Gardiner loved to paint in the open air and often took pupils for lessons in the open air, carrying on the long-held plein air tradition of the Lamorna artists.
In 1938 the artist Richard Copeland Weatherby captured the vitality of Gardiner as a man and as a painter in his work ‘A Portrait of Stanley Gardiner’. This portrait hung in the Royal Academy in 1945 and later became part of the permanent collection of the Penlee House Gallery in Penzance.
Gardiner spent the rest of his life living and working in the Lamorna valley, where he became an integral part of the community and the last professional artist of the Lamorna colony.
Stanley and his wife had a son, Keith, in 1934. As an adult Keith also worked as an artist, taking over his father’s studio, and wrote a book entitled “A Painter’s Paradise – memories of an artist’s son growing up in Lamorna”.
Today the works of Stanley Gardiner are held in the Royal Collection, Penlee House, Penzance, and private collections worldwide.

This original oil on board painting by Lamorna artist Stanley Gardiner depicts tide pools on Porthcurno Beach in Cornwall. Porthcurno beach is flanked by rugged cliffs, has gorgeous white sands and is lapped by turquoise waves. It is known as a place of particular beauty. It was once famous for being the British connection of the world’s very first international telegraph cable. Nowadays it is also the backdrop of the iconic Minack Theatre.
The painting focuses on the pools of sea-water forming in the undulations of the pale sand, with the huge cliffs rising up all around, almost like the columns of a cathedral. The very top section of the painting shows the edge of the sea, with its characteristic turquoise shades. This is all about structure and texture, movement and light. It is a very atmospheric, timeless and stylised piece.

Nancy Bailey was born in 1913 and started her working life at the age of 15. As a teenager she used her father’s camera to take photographs of West Country views, many of which were used to produce postcards, which sold throughout the country. This early talent demonstrated her knowledge and appreciation of light and composition that later enabled her to create the beautiful paintings for which she became internationally renowned. Her family moved frequently throughout the south west, before settling in Ireland where for thirteen years she produced high quality marquetry pictures, which sold all over the world.
Nancy only started painting seriously when she returned to Cornwall in her fifties. Her painting career, though started somewhat late, continued over forty years. Nancy worked with a palette knife and never used a brush. This gives her work its distinctive texture and captures the landscape and light. Nancy became acclaimed as one of the leading palette knife artists in the UK.
Although Nancy travelled widely, including a safari trip to South Africa with the acclaimed nature artist David Shepherd her best work is arguably of the coasts and rivers of the West Country, which she loved so much.
Nancy died in 2012, since when demand for her original works has increased.
