Amy Jobes – North Devon Coastal Artist | Nature-Inspired Coastal Wall Art

Inspired by wild natural places with vast skies and distant horizons, Amy Jobes creates emotionally resonant coastal wall art that captures the spirit of land, sea, and sky. Based in North Devon, Amy draws deeply on the dramatic beauty of the Saunton and Croyde coastline, where expansive skies meet the rolling energy of the Atlantic Ocean - a place she returns to again and again with brush and palette knife.

“By immersing myself in nature and the elements, I fill up my heart,” Amy says. “And then I pour it out again onto the canvas.”

Each of Amy’s paintings reflects an instinctive and emotional response to these treasured coastal landscapes. Working primarily in oil, a medium she describes as “velvety, vibrant, and simply gorgeous”, Amy uses palette knives and layering techniques to build textured, impressionistic pieces that radiate energy and depth. Her work is perfectly suited to contemporary coastal décor, adding atmosphere and natural warmth to any space.

While celebrating the emotive beauty of the British coastline is central to her practice, Amy also hopes to inspire a deeper love and respect for nature. “I feel incredibly lucky to live in North Devon,” she explains. “The conservation of our local beaches, moors, and woodlands is really important to me. I hope my art encourages others to cherish these places, or to rekindle their love for the wild.”

Amy’s artistic journey has grown from a loyal local following to include international collectors, including a Nobel Peace Prize laureate and a Booker Prize-winning author, testament to the universal resonance of her work.

In the studio, she is influenced by artists such as Kurt Jackson, Franz Marc, and J.M.W. Turner. Music is also a key part of her process; she often paints to a soundtrack and draws on lyrics for painting titles, adding another emotional layer to her nature-inspired art.

Amy Jobes’s work offers more than decoration - it’s a soulful and contemporary expression of place, perfect for art collectors, interior designers, and anyone seeking meaningful coastal wall art with a powerful sense of connection to the natural world.
