This is the story of Cornish fisherman-turned-artist Alfred Wallis, whose paintings of boats from his past inspired the future of British modern art. Told from Wallis' perspective - inspired by his crudely written letters to Jim Ede - this book takes the reader through his remarkable life; his early sailing days, his late arrival to painting, his encounters with ' proper' artists and his battle with mental health. Wallis' naive yet poignant work has captured the imagination of many. His paintings are a portal into Wallis' world of ships, boats and the sea; and his deep concern for preserving ' what used to be' .
Since graduating from Cambridge School of Art in 2020, Molly Russon has been drawing and painting from her tiny little garden studio in south west London, surrounded by her mum' s tomato plants. Molly is often inspired by the funny, touching or odd moments in life and always keeps her eyes peeled so she can capture them in her work. Writing and illustrating this book brought together her love of Wallis' work, St Ives, history and telling people' s stories from the past. The Life of Alfred Wallis is her first picture book.
