Seana Mallen is an award-winning painter and printmaker and inspiring teacher.
She splits her time between the south coast of England and her native California, inspired by the ever changing beauty of both coasts.
Seana’s paintings capture fleeting and dramatic moments of light, and invite you to wander into the woods or along the river with her.
She uses loose, bold layers of paint and collage that produce expressive textured and colourful landscapes.
Inspired by the views she encounters on dog walks every day, she channels the South Downs, the River Adur, and the shingle beaches of the south coast to create beautiful evocative abstracted compositions that spark the viewer’s own memories and imagination.
As well as painting, she has been inspiring and encouraging people to explore their creativity through art for many years. Seana is passionate about helping others find their own creative voice and has a deep understanding of the value of art in our lives. She is an incredible teacher and mentor, and her enthusiasm for her craft is contagious.

Nature Journaling at Salt Marsh Studio. next session, June 28 10-4
"We live in a world made of gifts."
Treat yourself to an all-day nature journaling workshop with a delicious lunch, tea and cakes.
We'll start with a coffee and a chat about all the things nature journaling can be, and then take a walk along the banks of the beautiful River Adur. Breathe deep and take time to really notice the everyday miracle of all the wonderful wildflowers just popping up out of nowhere. We'll learn their names and uses and stories and collect and photograph along the way, soaking up the salt air.
The rest of the day will be a therapeutic and joyful blend of drawing, painting, mindfulness and science, crafting a concertina sketchbook that I hope will start you on a life-long journey of exploration, appreciation, creativity and pure fun.
I'll give you lots of tips and tricks to help you capture your experience and make it your own. AND, we'll have a yummy vegetarian lunch with a cheeky glass of prosecco to loosen up the afternoon. All materials and everything included for £85.
If you love flowers & art & nature & friendship & food, please come join us.
For more info and booking, please email me here.
I'll have a new schedule for late August and September.
