Robin Leonard is a painter of semi-abstract seascapes. Born in Buckinghamshire, he first came to Cornwall in 1981, having studied at Dunstable Art & Design College. He exhibited his work in mid-Cornwall and became an illustrator for the Saint's Way project, working on the Cornish footpath between Padstow and Fowey. After a spell in Switzerland he returned to Cornwall in 2006 and lives in St Austell.
