Danny McBride is a designer and artist living in Shoreham by Sea, Sussex. The ‘Beautiful Shoreham‘ series of designs were created between 2013 and 2016. These art deco stylised views of Shoreham by Sea celebrate the beauty of this small south coast town.
My main subjects as a painter are landscapes and seascapes. These allow me to forge a deep connection with nature. The process of observing and capturing the changing light, colours, textures, and moods of the natural world provide me with a sense of serenity and grounding. It’s a way to immerse myself in the beauty of the environment that surrounds me.
My seascapes particularly evoke a wide range of emotions. I find that the emotional response to weather and various sea states translates into colour and movement, the process can often be electrifying! The vastness of a seascape or the tranquility of a rural landscape can resonate with people on a profound level. As an artist, I want to convey these emotions and experiences through my paintings, creating a personal and emotional connection with my audience.
In 2016 Danny McBride and a team of volunteers launched the Skyway Gallery, Pond Road, Shoreham-by-Sea for the promotion of art and creative initiatives in the local community
