Seb West

Seb West was born in St. Ives in 1968. Third of four children, his mother was an antique dealer, descended from an old St. Ives tin mining family. His father was from the fishing village of St. Coombs in Scotland, and came to St. Ives in 1952 when the minesweeper he was serving on, HMS Wave was wrecked on Pednolva Rocks. Seb grew up in St. Ives and developed a great love for the local countryside and sea. On leaving school Seb was accepted at Falmouth School of Art where he studied graphic design, and illustration. It was here that he first started to experiment with different media and developed his unique technique of painting onto carved linoleum.

To quote the St. Ives Times & Echo:"He is one of the very few artists around capable of inventing new and impressive techniques and rapidly applying them to new styles of painting, which seem to arrive already fully developed, and yet are always clearly "Seb Wests". While other painters may surprise with new and unexpected images, West excites his admirers with everything; new images, new styles, new techniques and clever innovations."
