Glyn Macey was born in Cornwall in 1969. He completed his HND in Graphic Design at Falmouth School of Art in 1991. Since leaving college he has remained in Cornwall, his work developing in response to the unique environment of West Cornwall. Using acrylic, mixed media and an array of mark making techniques he endeavours to capture the underlying essence of the landscape, the essence that shapes the landscape and the people who live in it. By building and glazing colour he is able to gain a rich depth. Glyn Macey's paintings can be seen in many collections worldwide and his design work is found in many major high street retailers. 2001 saw the publication worldwide of posters by The Art Group.
