Rae Lloyd Art and photography
Rae Lloyd
Sharing my love of nature and animals, I am lucky enough to live in the beautiful County of Cornwall, which provides me with the inspiration to paint both from life and my imagination.
Sea horse
I first saw a sea horse when I was fifteen in a huge fish tank in Cornwall and have loved them ever since, I love the variety of colours. Such beautiful creatures.
Octopus in motion
I love these fascinating and intelligent creatures, so amazing and adaptable. I wanted to paint them in different colours and capture their fluid nture
Under the sea
Just another example of my love of all creatures, the ocean has such beauty that we rarely get to see.
Busy beneath the waves
I painted this for myself, I wanted a canvas that showed some of my favourite under water animals, with some more imaginary elements.

There are so many beautiful tin mines dotted around the Cornish landscape, an Ode to times past. They tower over the landscape with a sense of mystery and history.
