To name a few, here’s a selection of some of our favourites: 

Suffolk Artists to Watch in 2025

Suffolk, with its picturesque landscapes and rich cultural history, has long been a source of inspiration for artists. From the pastoral beauty immortalised by John Constable to the contemporary creators shaping the art scene today, this county is a hotbed of talent. As we step into 2025, here are the Suffolk artists making waves with their innovative works and compelling visions.

1. Andrew K Clarke – The Watercolour Virtuoso

Andrew K Clarke is a local watercolour and mixed media artist whose work is deeply inspired by the Suffolk coastline and countryside. Known for his contemporary approach, Andrew captures the essence of the region’s natural beauty through dynamic seascapes and landscapes. His pieces reflect the unique interplay of light and colour, making them a true celebration of East Anglia’s environment. 

2. Alex Dipple – The Conceptual Innovator

Alex Dipple is another local artist, this time a conceptual painter whose playful arrangements of pictorial motifs offer a fresh perspective on art historical styles. Her work often blurs the lines between traditional and contemporary art, creating decorative and thought-provoking pieces that invite viewers to reconsider familiar themes. Her imaginative approach and body of work make her one of Suffolk’s most exciting artists to keep an eye on in 2025. 

3. Amanda Marks – The Nature Storyteller

Amanda Marks specialises in wildlife and nature art, using felt and pastel to bring her subjects to life. Her work often includes accompanying stories or poems, adding layers of narrative to her works. Amanda’s art highlights the beauty and fragility of the natural world, making her one of the most prominent voices in Suffolk’s creative community.

4. Belinda King – The Atmospheric Painter

Belinda King is an oil and acrylic painter known for her emotive and stylised landscapes. Her work perfectly captures the mood and atmosphere of Suffolk’s countryside through the combination of bold colours and abstract forms. Belinda’s paintings evoke a deep emotional connection to Suffolk, offering viewers a unique perspective on our surrounding beauty.

5. Caro Burberry – The Sculptural Naturalist

Caro Burberry creates stunning sculptures inspired by nature, often featuring birds and organic forms. Her works are crafted from durable materials and finished with exquisite detail, making them ideal for both indoor and garden settings. Caro’s art reflects her passion for the Suffolk environment, bringing a touch of nature into every piece. 

With plenty of galleries and exhibitions on offer to take in the work of these budding local artists, be sure to take a look at our Barns and Barges for rent in Suffolk to ensure you have some equally stunning accommodation to rest up in, if we do say so ourselves.
