Darwin Holiday Parks commission James Grover to put his art on the walls of their Piran Meadows site near Newquay.
Meadows and woodland were the inspiration for James, he also included some references to the sea too with Newquay's position on the Cornwall coast. James says "It was completely drawn in acrylic pens, with the background colour done in emulsion."
Phosphor Art are really excited about our latest signing – new talent Martina Paukova whose work stood out at Camberwell degree show. Her sense of colour and design are outstanding, and with several commissions under her belt already we think Martina will be a name to remember.
