Collection: Roger Seddon

Roger spent his early years in Anglesey where he acquired a love for the sea and sailing. In the mid 1970’s he qualified in his chosen profession and with time and experience progressed to achieve Fellowship of a Royal Institution. He has lived in Dorset with his family since 1983.

Roger has a recognisable ”artist’s voice” as an established painter of landscapes and coastal scenes and works mainly in his home county using oils which is his preferred medium. Initially he was taught by a professional teaching artist to paint in the traditional manner of 19C and 20C English landscape painters. Through study and considerable practice Roger learnt to adapt their working methods and processes to produce paintings using the same, or modern equivalents of materials available during their time.

 The underlying influences of Turner, Edward Seago and Fred Cuming feature in many of Roger’s paintings. These can be moody and atmospheric in capturing time and place and are characterised by their tonal qualities, interesting optical effects and energetic brushstrokes.

 Roger exhibits locally and further afield. In recent years he has received wider recognition by being selected to exhibit paintings in London alongside members of the Royal Society of Marine Artists and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters.
