Maggie Cochran is fascinated by the tracks and marks left behind as the sea goes out, and how the light reflects off the wet sand. She also enjoys watching the constantly changing sky and sea and bringing a sense of the weather into her paintings.

Maggie has a Fine Art degree from the University of Chichester and won the Cornwall Life Landscape Painter of the Year 2016. While she has always painted Maggie Cochran did not take it up professionally until her children left home. She and her daughter Helena went off to university at the same time, Helena to study Business and Maggie to finally follow her dream and study Art.

Maggie’s love of the ocean has led her partner up with UK based marine conservation charity Sea-Changers.  She hopes to use her art to help raise funds to support this charity.
