“I have always had an endless admiration and love for the outdoors. From spending time in the mountains, to the natural beauty of the UK’s countryside, to summers growing up on the Northumbrian coastline, nature has always been a key feature in my painting. Ultimately however, I have always been drawn back to painting the sea.”
About Adina
I am a contemporary artist from the United Kingdom, currently based in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. My love of nature and the outdoors has always featured in my art, capturing coastlines from Barbados to Northumberland in my acrylic series of the sea.
I initally trained as a doctor and works part time in the NHS. Throughout Medical School and working life I frequently turned to art as a way of balancing my studies.
In 2019 I completed a Bachelor of Science in Medical Hummanities and Art, enabling me to focus on my art and explore the role creating art can have in both medical education an therepeutic release.
I have always had a love and admiration of the sea, both in painting and day to day life. I spend a lot of my time exploring the UK coast time, capturing aerial photos with my drone to take back to the studio.
The aerial view reveals a whole new world of currents, coral reefs and dramatic waves that endlessly inspire my paintings.
I have been lucky enough to travel around the world painting the many seas on offer, from Cape Town to Indonesia to Barbados, but always returing to UK Coast.
