Anyone who has enjoyed a bracing walk along the North East coast or a ramble through the moors of Northumberland would agree that our region is home to the most spectacular scenery - and one Cullercoats-based artist has immortalised the beauty of the area through incredible paintings.
Born in Berwick-upon-Tweed, Joanne Wishart, 44, grew up surrounded by the stunning Northumberland countryside, from visiting her grandparents in Alnmouth to spending the summers of her childhood playing on Cocklawburn beach. Exploring the region’s breathtaking coastline inspired her to capture its beauty in her artwork.
“I get inspired by the North East coast because it's places that I go with my family for walks and lovely days out,” Joanne says. “I just want to create that memory through my paintings.”
