Ross Van NairnFine Artist & Landscape Photographer
Ross Van Nairn is a distinguished English fine artist and landscape photographer whose work is deeply rooted in a lifelong connection to water. Born in London near the River Thames and later based in Richmond, close to the vast natural beauty of Richmond Park, Van Nairn draws constant inspiration from his surroundings—translating the rhythms of nature into both paint and photographic form.
His evocative seascapes and landscape imagery reflect a fascination with light, atmosphere, and the raw energy of the natural world. A graduate of art school in London, Van Nairn cites J.M.W. Turner as a profound influence. Turner's mastery of light and dramatic movement continues to inform Van Nairn’s own artistic approach, particularly in his depiction of storm-driven coastlines and turbulent seas.
Van Nairn has exhibited extensively, including a number of solo exhibitions. His painting Porthleven Storm was recently accepted by the prestigious Mall Galleries in London, affirming his standing in the contemporary art world. As a member of the Royal Photographic Society, his fine art photography has also been featured in several of the Society’s annual exhibitions.
Whether through the brush or the lens, Ross Van Nairn captures the sublime beauty and power of the natural world with striking sensitivity and vision.
