Elaine Turnbull was born in Sunderland and grew up in a seaside town in the Northeast, later studying Art and Textile design at Newcastle and Edinburgh College of Art. Her early memories are of the lighthouse at Whitburn, of storm-waves crashing over sea walls, of the foghorn at Roker, and the coast remains an important influence on her painting. Since 2009 she had lived and worked in Cornwall, drawing together a wide range of influences from the Scottish Colourists she encountered as a student, to the joyous simplicity of her own children's artwork, to the paintings of 20th century St Ives artists Alfred Wallis and Ben Nicholson.
Elaine is a member of the St Ives Society of Artists and is an Associate member of the Penwith Society. Her work has been selected for the Open Exhibition at the Royal West of England Academy, and in 2017 she was a prize winner in the National Open Art Competition.
