ARTIST BIOGRAPHIES - GLYN MACEY

Glyn Macey was born in Newlyn, Cornwall in 1969. He completed an HND in Graphic Design at Falmouth School of Art in 1991. Since leaving college, he has lived in Penzance, his work developing in response to the unique environment of West Cornwall.

He worked as a successful designer until 1998 when he ‘retired’ from designing in order to devote all of his time to painting. His paintings can be seen in many collections worldwide and his design work is found in many major high street retailers.

Glyn uses acrylic, pencil and collage to gain spontaneity in his work. He endeavours to capture the underlying essence of the landscape, and believes that the unexpected unity of colour and texture in mixed media work can often create the most exciting results.
