Cornwall Living

A tribute to the sea

Vincent Basham is a self-taught artist who was born and grew up in Maldon, Essex. He was initially educated in Tiptree, where his paintings were first exhibited when he was a young teenager. Following those early days, his work has since been displayed in prestigious galleries in London, Essex, Suffolk and throughout south-west of  England.

Vincent developed a passion for painting seascapes while living in Cornwall in his early twenties, where he also embraced oil as the primary medium for his work.

Nine years ago, he returned to Cornwall with his partner, Jane, settling in Wadebridge, where he now has a purpose-built studio and gallery. A place that you can visited daily from 10am to 4pm.

Several of his paintings are available as limited-edition prints, with commissions always welcome; one of which, Harlyn Bay, can be seen above.

In 2026, he will be exhibiting at the Padstow Institute, PL28 8AB, from 3rd–12th May, 21st–30th June, and 24th–31st August.
