Welcome to Threlfalls’ Art

Caren and Peter Threlfall’s aim is to provide easily accessible artwork at affordable prices. Working in their home studios in a small village on the Lancashire/Cumbria border, Peter and Caren’s extensive portfolios reflect the Arnside and Silverdale National Landscape, flora/fauna and coastal scenes.

Peter paints mainly using acrylic and Caren’s works are mixed-media textile based.

All are textural and primarily vibrantly coloured. New works are regularly added to The Pier Gallery and commission requests are welcomed.

Peter Threlfall

Peter Threlfall is an artist whose practice is rooted in an early career in interior design, a background that continues to inform their strong sense of composition, balance, and atmosphere.

Working primarily with vibrant acrylics and atmospheric watercolours, Peter paints from memory rather than direct observation, allowing emotion and experience to shape each piece. He is particularly fascinated by silhouettes, light, and shade, exploring how these elements define space and mood.

Peter creates contemporary landscapes inspired by iconic mountain forms, including Striding Edge and coast lines in Scotland and local areas. Peter likes using layered textures to build depth and dimension, inviting the viewer to connect with both place and feeling.

Caren Threlfall

Caren Threlfall is a mixed media artist whose practice is rooted in experimentation with colour, texture, and material. With an early career in fashion design, Caren brings a strong sense of composition, detail, and craftsmanship to her artwork.

Her work often explores natural forms and is inspired by the surrounding landscapes, drawing influence from local nature and organic environments. Through layered surfaces and intuitive processes, she creates pieces that reflect both structure and spontaneity.

Caren brings pops of colour and metallics to her work giving viewers an insight into her personality and style.
