Established land & seascape painter Ric Horner focuses in his work on the elemental qualities of light, the energy of weather and the drama of the sea. He creates highly atmospheric oil paintings featuring classic Kent coast and harbour scenes, as well as the stunning sunsets seen on Whitstable beach. He has recently set up a permanent GALLERY SPACE at the front of his house with a rolling exhibition of finished pieces.
If you are visiting Whitstable, this is a wonderful opportunity to meet the artist in his residency, pick up some lovely greeting cards and view his original paintings while passing by on a scenic (circular) beach walk only 20min from town centre. You can combine your walk with stops at some of our most well-known pubs in Whitstable: The Old Neptune on West Beach, The Rose in Bloom in Joy Lane, next door to Ric’s place, and The Sportsman gastro pub in Seasalter, which is equally famous for it’s Michelin Stars and having been awarded winner of Gastro pub 2024.
The studio is open most days from 10:30am – 5pm.
All of Ric’s paintings are for sale. To arrange a visit, book a 1-to-1 tuition, or a painting retreat for small groups up to 5 people call 07835294317, or email
