Born in Newlyn, Cornwall, Glyn Macey is well known for his travels and art projects working with charitable organisations including RNLI, Greenpeace and UNICEF. He recently completed work on his most ambitious artistic venture to date: painting his way around the coast of Artic Svalbard, documenting thew wildlife and climate changes affecting one of the most fragile environments on the planet.

No Stranger to demanding projects: over the last six years Glyn Macey has painted is way across America from New York to Los Angeles for UNICEF, circumnavigated the English coast producing original paintings on-route for the RNLI and crisscrossed the UK filming the television series 'A Brush with the landscape' for Sky Arts.

Glyn uses acrylic, pencil and collage to gain the spontaneity of his work and the ‘happy accidents’ that he loves. By building and glazing colour he is able to gain a rich depth.
