LOCATION Lily Cottage is situated in the beautiful Lamorna Valley, accessed from the quiet approach road to Lamorna Cove set in a mature belt of unspoilt woodland with an attractive stream running through the valley to the cove. Lamorna Cove is known for its notable post- impressionist artists such as Sir Alfred Munnings PRA and Lamorna Birch, who came to stay in the early part of the 20th Century. Lamorna is situated on the most south westerly tip of England and is close to numerous beaches and renowned attractions such as the Minack Theatre at Porthcurno, the Tate Gallery and Barbara Hepworth Museum at St Ives and St Michael’s Mount at Marazion. The cove itself has a small beach and granite harbour with access to many coastal footpaths to take in the view and wildlife which has made the area so popular with artists, walkers and ornithologists alike. Whilst West Cornwall is renowned for its awe inspiring scenery, coastline, art scene and legendary surfing, the area is fast developing as a culinary and sporting mecca. There are a host of highly acclaimed restaurants in Penzance, St Ives, Mousehole and Sennen. 4 Ref: LCAA7580 Meanwhile competitive dinghy sailing, windsurfing and kitesurfing are synonymous with Mounts Bay. The harbourside town of Penzance offers a wide range of amenities, shops and supermarkets and has well regarded schooling. Above the harbour, Chapel Street is famous for its galleries and historic Georgian architecture. Communications to Cornwall have improved greatly with the A30 now mostly dual carriageway from the M5 at Exeter to Penzance; and Land’s End Airport offers facilities for private craft as well as training, scenic flights and regular flights to the Isles of Scilly connecting to Bristol and Southampton. Cornwall Airport Newquay offers regular flights to a range of national and international destinations. STANLEY GARDINER (1888 – 1952) One of the Lamorna Group of painters, Stanley Gardiner spent the last 30 years of his life living and working in the Lamorna Valley. His vitality as a man and painter is delightfully captured in R C Weatherby’s portrait of him in the Penlee House’s collection. Born in Reading, Stanley Gardiner began his career as an apprentice decorator and his first artistic works were produced using house paint on cardboard. His formal education in art began with a scholarship to Reading University, followed by a period of study at the Allan Fraser Art College in Arbroath, and he travelled to America to work and teach. In the early 1920’s Gardiner returned to England and, on a visit to Cornwall, he met the artist S J Lamorna Birch who encouraged him to settle in the Lamorna Valley. At first he suffered extreme poverty, forcing him to live in an army hut behind the Lamorna Wink Public House. In order to augment his income, he made picture frames for many of the Newlyn and Lamorna Artists, including Stanhope Forbes. Eventually achieving success with his painting, Gardiner exhibited widely and showed work at the Royal Academy between 1927 and 1947. He ran a small painting school from his home at Lily Cottage in Lamorna, overlooking the river, where he lived until his death in 1952. (Credit: Penlee House, Gallery & Musuem, Penzance).

  • Morwenna Morrison CV
    MORWENNA MORRISON Arusha Gallery | [email protected] | 0131 557 1412 BIOGRAPHY Morwenna Morrison's predominantly oil on canvas works draw influence from a carefully curated collage of archival images. Morrison explains her work as being ‘an analysis of today’s social, psychological and political issues, set within historical context’. Taking as a base the salubrious works of historical landscape painting, the artist interweaves contemporary consumerist images into her painting. In doing so, the viewer is invited to nostalgically embrace the cultural mythos of the classical, neo-classical or Romantic. Morrison establishes a sort of narrative continuum between a world of commercial flight and the colonial verandas of the 19th century (‘n Infinite Summer), presenting her new historicism in beautiful, aesthetic calmness. Morwenna Morrison is based in Penzance. A graduate of the Exeter College of Art and Design’s Fine Art programme (1988), she has exhibited extensively across the UK as both a solo artist and a contributor to group shows.

There are picturesque harbours and grand country houses set in vast acreages. There are impressive landmarks from the past such as Tintagel Castle, St Michael’s Mount and more standing stones and Neolithic sites than you can shake a stick at. They exist happily alongside the present day futuristic domes of Eden, the stately grey bulk of Tate St Ives, old Mine chimneys (sensibly bestowed with World Heritage status) and the spoil heaps of the clay pits near St Austell. 35 BEST OF CORNWALL 2020 However there is more to Cornwall’s appeal than It was clear that luck landmarks.
