Lynn Pascoe's paintings have been exhibited at Trelissick Gardens. Her love of the Cornish landscape is reflected in her work.
Born at East Stonehouse, Plymouth, Devon on 8 August 1819, his birth was
recorded by the minister at How Street Baptist church in 1837, son of William
Pascoe, carver and gilder, and his wife Elizabeth. An animal and equestrian
painter making his living by taking commissions from horse owners and
travelled around the West Country, his work includes 'Shire Horses' dated
Richmond 1845 and a portrait of a Devonshire Bull, dated 29 December 1855. He
married at Charles the Martyr Church, Plymouth in 1862, Sarah Jane Rogers and
moved to East Anglia where their son William Claude Lorraine (1867-1961) was
born at Rose Cottage, Mill Hill, Newmarket on 25 December 1867, and a second
son, Edward Albert was born at Fulbourn, Cambridgeshire in 1869. He painted
several pictures during this period including a study of a blue and white
greyhound with a hare, dated 1863, 'Hippia and a Bay Filly in a Stable'
inscribed 'Newmarket' dated July 1867, and J.D.Wragg's 'Favourites'. In 1871
a 51 year old animal painter & gilder living at 2 East Road, St. Andrew the
Less, Cambridge, with his 30 year old wife Sarah J., a 9 year old daughter
Rosa J. R. and two sons 3 year old William C. L. and 1 year old Edwin A; Rosa
Jane Rogers was born at Plymouth in 1862. The family then moved to 46 Grant
Road, Battersea, London where Sarah Jane died in 1876, aged 34, and in 1879
William married again at Wandsworth Registry Office, 22 year old Charlotte
Filmer (1859-1944) and in 1881 a 54 year old animal & landscape painter
living at 45 Tunbridge Road, Maidstone, Kent with his 22 year old wife
Charlotte, born Peckham Rye, 11 year old Edwin and his 17 year old
sister-in-law Annie Filmer. They emigrated to the United States of America
arriving in New York on the 'Persian Monarch' in October 1883. In America he
carried on his painting, following the racing circuit, and where he had a
further daughter, Ida, born at Covington, Kentucky in 1884. He travelled
widely in America; at Lexinton where his painting included 'The King' (1884)
for owner Judge H. M. Whitehead and in Kentucky including 'King Alfonso'
(1884) for A. J. Alexander also had commissions in Chigago, Long Island,
Saratoga and Covington, but on returning to England seems to have been in
poor financial situation in 1890 when requesting financial aid from the 3rd
Earl of Morley. In 1891 was living in lodgings at 23 Clifton Street,
Brighton, Sussex, with Charlotte and Ida. He died at 8 Pentonville Road,
Brighton on 31 December 1892. In 1901 Charlotte and Ida were living at 3
Hazelwood Terrace, Herne Bay, Kent. He exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1842
'View on the Caddiver River, Dartmoor' and at the British Institution for
Promoting the Fine Arts 'View of Gretton Bridge, near Launceston of the River
Tamar, Cornwall' exhibiting in both in the two following years. The picture
of J. D. Wragg's 'Favourites' has inscribed on the canvas 'by E. W. Roscoe of
Newmarket and Chesterton Road, Cambridge. July 1869' and maybe a different
artist but I have found no other at Cambridge.

An earlier William PASCOE (1), from Plymouth, is listed by Graves as painting landscapes between 1842-44 at RA, SS, and BI, however the Pascoe referred to here is mentioned by Green as a contemporary of the Welsh student Carey MORRIS, and was a pupil at the FORBES SCHOOL c1905.
Pascoe lived at 6 Wellington Terrace, Penzance. He exhibited and sold The Embroiderer at NAG in July 1906. In 1907 C Lewis Hind published Days in Cornwall (Methuen & Co) and William Pascoe provided sixteen coloured illustrations for the book with such subjects as Lanyon Quoit, Newlyn Slip, St Michael's Mount, A Night View of the Island, St Ives and Trencrom Hill. Whether or not these illustrations were reproductions of paintings for exhibition, is not known. Photographs were also provided by a number of national and locally based photographers such as Herbert LANYON (St Ives), GIBSON (Penzance) and Francis FRITH amongst others.
In the permanent collection at Falmouth Art Gallery is Portrait of a Man, attributed to William Pascoe as active 1905-1912.
Listed in the 1841 Census for Falmouth as a 45 year old Artist, not born in the County and living in Killigrew Street.
One of his pupils in London was Terry FROST, whom he advised against studying art formally - but to go and study shapes and paintings in the national galleries. He visited St Ives in 1950, and following this 'he flirted with abstracted appearances again.' (P Fuller 1988).
Lisa became a full-time painter in 2007. Her paintings follow the spirit of the 1930s and Japanese block printing. Her images contrast the beauty of unkempt nature with domestic buildings, churches and old mine buildings. Shapes and contours are used to create a strong composition, coupled with rich colours, shadow and light.
The artist works from one of six studios at Pydar Gallery & Studios in Truro.
The daughter of a solicitor, Emily Paterson was born in Edinburgh in 1855 and studied at the Edinburgh College of Art, as well as in Paris. She lived at Albyn Place, Edinburgh before moving to London in 1917, having travelled widely between 1909-1934, visiting the Netherlands and Italy on a number of occasions.
Her favoured subjects were landscapes, architecture and botany. She was elected member of the Royal Scottish Watercolour Society, Scottish Artists' Society and the Society of Women Artists.
Emily had a special affection for the west country and loved painting the sea. She worked in Polperro in c.1932. An exhibition review described her pictures of Polperro as 'delicate, sensitive studies, in which the subtle greens, greys and blues of evening and of dull mornings are seen and successfully reproduced, sometimes in a manner which suggests the work of Whistler.'
Just before her death she was elected to STISA. Emily died in London on the 23rd July, 1934 - a memorial exhibition was held at Walker's Gallery, London later the same year. The painting St Ives (undated) was sold at Christies, London, South Kensington on 27 January 1999.
Born on 28 March 1867 in London, the artist exhibited a Newlyn title at the Institute of Painters in Oil Colours in 1892, sent from her working address in Bexley, Kent.
Known exhibiting dates for Patey are 1891-94. She died on 2 January, 1940, at Lelant, near St Ives.

Birmingham-born artist, in the circle of artists around Joseph SOUTHALL influenced greatly by the Pre-Raphaelite tradition.
Payne's Universum of Pictorial World (Rickerby, Brain and Payne), published in 1847, included his engraving Land's End, Cornwall.
A painting by this artist, 'Here Comes the Sun', is part of the art collection of Royal Cornwall Hospital.
In 1945 Payne was living in the School House, Summercourt, Cornwall, when exhibiting with the Plymouth Society of Artists in their second exhibition by members in September of that year.
Jacky Paynter was born and educated in east London. At the age of 16 she moved to Cornwall with her family. After studying graphic design at Redruth School of Art, she returned to London to embark on her career, eventually becoming an art director in publishing.
In 2019 she completed the Porthmeor Programme at St Ives School of Painting. Her work has been exhibited in Cornwall and Farnham, Surrey.
Massachusetts-born (Newton nr Boston) artist, aspects of his earlier life and education as well as his later life and movements, are covered in biographical material gathered for the publication of the life and journal of his friend, John Pius Boland, an Irishman and tennis player who he first met in Germany in the early days of the modern Olympic games.
Moving with his family to St Ives, he married Theresa Freeman, niece of artists Mary Winifrede FREEMAN and Charles Napier HEMY. His address for submissions was Seaforth, St Ives.
His painting Old Studio is mentioned in the St Ives Times report of the March Show Day of 1911, indicating that he had left before that date. Wood mentions a painting The Rain Squall that Pazolt had showed at the RA from St Ives in 1901. Whybrow mentions the artist in passing related to the St Ives Arts Club (1903). Pazolt took British nationality in 1934.
Born in Crowlas, near Penzance, to the Warmington family, she married Walter Pearce in 1928. Her first child, Bryan PEARCE, became the celebrated naive painter. She began to paint in the early 1950s and exhibited in mixed shows at the Penwith Gallery, as an associate of the Penwith Society of Arts from 1956-63. She also attended the St Ives School of Painting, as did her son. They exhibited together at Penwith and Newlyn Galleries, and later in their attic studios at home. She stopped painting herself to manage her son's artistic career, which she did with flair and enthusiasm and great loving care until her death in St Ives.
Her friends among women in St Ives were artists Marjorie MOSTYN, Isobel HEATH, Shearer ARMSTRONG and Misomé PEILE, as mentioned by Janet AXTEN in her delightful book, Bryan Pearce and his Artist Friends (2004). One of her portraits, Greta, Daughter of Sven BERLIN, 1958, is included as a colour plate in that book (p42).
Duff Pearce is a painter and printmaker who moved to Mousehole in Cornwall from Dorset in 2019.
Richard Pearce was born on the Isles of Scilly. A fifth generation Scillonian. he lives and works on Bryher. His seascapes have been exhibited at the Lighthouse Gallery, Penzance.
The exhibitor displayed 'Shetland Woollies' in the Craft section of the Summer Exhibition at Newlyn in 1928. It is not made clear whether or not this was spinning and knitting or just knitting of these intricate Celtic designs.
Coming from Truro, PEARCE was a sculptor who flourished between 1826-1851.
The artist exhibited two paintings at NAG in 1937. Her address was in Newquay, and she exhibited at SWA over the following two years. Three of her works are in the art collection held by Newquay Hospital, where the information given shows that she was painting actively in that area of Cornwall throughout the 1950s.
Pearce's work shows mastery of drawing and painting, illustrating complex landscapes but with the touch of the impressionist. She was clearly an accomplished painter.
David Pearce is a self-taught artist living near Padstow. His paintings have been exhibited internationally since 1998. In 2015/2016 his work was shown at London's Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.
Born in Dorking,the artist lived briefly in St Ives (1944-45), and has been a constant visitor with his family ever since. He worked at illustration and display from 1957, and studied at Chelsea School of Art, London (1959-61). Rod has taught art for the Inner London Education Authority from 1962 until 1990.
Pearce achieved a great following and success as an artist in spite of being brain damaged by phenylketonuria. His career as an artist was directed and supported through the skillful care and acumen of his mother, Mary PEARCE, also a painter, and a good friend of many artists.
He was born in St Ives, and lived out his life there, painting "all the places in St Ives, the harbour, the church, Market Place" his favoured subjects being seascapes and landscapes, though he also liked flower painting. His intense interest in patterns and designs often found Pearce standing in the Penwith Gallery staring at a blouse or pair of patterned trousers, lost in the world of imprinting those 'pictures' for future use.
His remarkable story is told warmly in several biographical works listed below, beginning with the earliest by Ruth Jones, through to the most recent revision (2008) of Marion Whybrow's Bryan Pearce - A Private View, first published in 1985. His many friends, carers, and admirers who surrounded and supported him in life contributed greatly to the publications about his work.
