Fellow winner Marianne Thomas said: “As an artist, and like so many before me, my artwork focuses on the unique light that St Ives is famous for. This part of the Cornish coast is trimmed by the hedgerow and I have used the beauty and form of it to create my surfer with blackberry bush hair. “The picturesque St Erth bridge is the start to the journey, with its red river and seagulls
accompanying the surfer through the clouds on a bright red surfboard. Whilst paintbrushes and art tools are being stored in the cloud amongst the rocks and flowers to signify the arrival in St Ives.” The project was part-funded by the Community Rail Development Fund, which is backed by the Department for Transport and the Community Rail Network.
