Meet coast artist David Edmond
Carol Burns, Coast Magazine, May 1, 2024
Artist David Edmond perfectly captures beach life in his latest series of works. He tells CAROL BURNS how the Kent coastline has inspired him.
 
The coastline seems a natural place for artists. The light, the changing weather, the endless possibilities of seascapes and landscapes, not to mention the contrast between busy bustling beaches and a quiet contemplative expanse of empty sand.
