Duncan Palmar RSMA

A contemporary British landscape and marine artist, she is celebrated for her atmospheric oil paintings that capture the changing moods, light, and beauty of the coastline. Following her passion for art from an early age, she became a professional painter at nineteen, holding her first solo exhibition within a year. Inspired by repeated visits to Devon and Cornwall, her work reflects a deep connection with the sea, exploring its movement, rhythm, and ever-changing character. Working from sketches and photographs, she combines expressive use of colour with careful attention to detail, bringing textures such as wet sand, seaweed, and coastal reflections to life. Her paintings have been widely exhibited, including at the Royal Society of Marine Artists Annual Exhibition, and her work has been commissioned for prestigious projects including Armed Forces commissions, AA award-winning properties, and appearances on the cover of Country Life. Based in Surrey, she continues to find inspiration in the diverse landscapes of the British coastline.
