Tessa Newcomb

For over fifty years Tessa Newcomb has been painting her own distinct vision of the world around her. Based mainly in Suffolk, she has captured the landscape and life of the county with great sensitivity, often focusing on the unusual and the quirky. Many of her paintings are full of humour, and revel in odd conjunctions, while others capture the timeless beauty of nature and the Suffolk landscape.

Tessa was born in Suffolk in 1955, the daughter of the painter Mary Newcomb, and as a child she met many well known artists including Ben and Winifred Nicholson. She started painting early on and later trained in Norwich, Bath and Wimbledon. Tessa has exhibited regularly in the UK and abroad.
