| Joel Merriner | |
I was born in Bath in 1970, spent part of my childhood living in Australia and New Zealand, and now live and work in Cornwall, close to Bodmin Moor. |
|
| About the Artist | |
I paint primarily in oils, on canvas or canvas board. I'm inspired by the natural world, and my paintings are based on a mixture of sketches and drawings and I enjoy experimenting with light and unusual angles. I also produce work in pencil and ink. These range from lively sketch book drawings of just a few lines, to highly intricate tonal pieces. |

| Education and biography | |
| I studied Illustration at Falmouth School of Art, going on to specialize in Natural History Illustration at Carmarthen College in Wales. Since graduating in 1993, I have spent time working as a storyboard artist in the animation business and for the last four years have been concentrating exclusively on developing my own art and exploring subjects that interest me. In January 2008 I was selected as a Signature Member of the Artists For Conservation Foundation, an international collective of wildlife and landscape artists dedicated to furthering the cause of conservation through art. Exhibited: 1994-6 Three Spires Art, Truro 1995 Mullion Gallery, Cornwall 1996 Berkeley Gallery, Falmouth, Cornwall 1997 Wildlife Art Society, Bath 1998 Solo exhibition for World Wide Fund for Nature, Gweek 1999-2000 National Exhibition of Wildlife Art, Liverpool 2001 Falmouth Art Centre |
