About

    _______________________________

    'I am drawn to the sense of how you make your subject, whatever it might be at the time - seascape or black cat - a personal encounter. I think that's why your work has a lovely fluidity about it, because that's where the connection starts.'

    About


    Ingrid is a fine artist based in Cornwall, UK. She has a deep appreciation for the beauty of everyday scenes and the natural world, which she captures in her portrait, figurative and plein-air work. Her practice is grounded in observation and drawing, and focuses on the interplay of light, composition, form and atmosphere, creating a sense of presence and mood. 

    She has exhibited in notable shows with the Hampstead Art Society, Chelsea Art Society, several Federation of British Artists shows at the Mall Galleries, the Society of Graphic Fine Art, the St Ives Society of Artists, Penwith Gallery and St Ives Arts Club. 

    Recently, Ingrid has written for The Artist magazine (December 2024, and two upcoming in May & July 2025), and Painters Online.

    She received an 'Honourable Mention' award at the Teravarna 11th Open in Los Angeles, September 2024, for her oil painting 'South Ken Stroll'.

    Ingrid continues to explore and express her artistic vision through both commissioned and personal projects, and has to date undertaken several commissions both privately and through galleries.

    Her pieces are held in private collections in the UK, Europe, and US. She has donated work to various charities, including Art for Youth London, RNLI Devon, Edward Hain Centre St Ives, and St Michael's Hospital Hayle.
