A PLACE WORTH KNOWING

Look again at the landscape

Painting, drawing and printmaking inspired by nature, with a studio at Cockington Court.

James Murch’s work is a reason to slow down and look again at the landscape around you. His current portfolio explores woodland trees through drawings, prints and paintings, while earlier work includes bright floral studies and local scenery. Cockington Court is home to his studio in the Cob Barn, making a visit a natural companion to time in the grounds. Browse the work, notice the changing marks and colours, and enquire about anything that catches your eye. Arrange a visit ahead if meeting the artist is the main purpose of your trip.

The lovely little details

  • Painting, drawing and printmaking.
