Welcome to the website of Cumbrian artist, JEAN ATKINSON
Jean lives and works in north Cumbria, working mainly in acrylics on boxed canvas. She regularly exhibits in local galleries and venues, from where her work can also be purchased.
Jean Atkinson's landscapes and seascapes often take inspiration from the Lake District and Solway Firth, both areas being close to her home. Her work also includes abstract and floral subjects, as well as some inspired by visits to Scotland's isles and west coast.

This website
This website not only showcases Jeans paintings, but also acts as both a personal electronic aide memoire for Jean and her husband, John and an album for any family and friends who may be interested.
Gardening
We are both keen gardeners, so as well as charting the creation of our present garden dating from 2024, the website also records the creation of our last three gardens including an ambitious past garden project.
Model Railways
John's model railways feature heavily in our house. A simple G scale oval in the garden, a larger 00 gauge attic layout set in the 1960's Lake District and a portable one featuring some very elderly 3-rail Hornby Dublo equipment.
