Hello, I\u2019m Keith Coomber, a self-taught artist based on the Isle of Wight, where I moved in 2020. After a long career in the police, I\u2019m now fully dedicated to my lifelong passion for art. Inspired by the varied landscapes, seascapes, and wildlife of this beautiful island, my work reflects the natural world that surrounds me every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working primarily in oils and acrylics, I create bold, expressive pieces that capture the essence of the Isle of Wight\u2019s natural beauty. From the rugged cliffs and tranquil beaches to the island’s wildlife, I find endless inspiration in the world around me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you enjoy my work, please take a look at my gallery, and don\u2019t hesitate to reach out for commissions or any questions you might have. I hope you enjoy exploring my artistic journey as much as I enjoy creating it!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
