Works, in a wide range of styles, sizes and media, capture the many moods of the sea.

Fine and contemporary art

The Royal Society of Marine Artists is widely recognised as the focal point for much of Britain's finest contemporary marine art and many of the country's leading marine artists are elected members of the Society.

The common theme is the sea and tidal waters although, within that remit, members work is wide and varied. Subjects range from deep water shipping to coastal scenes, competitive sailing to quiet harbours, marine wildlife to still-life. Some members specialise in carefully researched historical paintings; others paint en plein air, attempting to capture the essence of the scene at a particular moment in time; yet others work in their studio from copious notes and sketches made on location.

All works are for sale.

Cunard, in partnership with Clarendon Fine Art, has appointed the UK’s foremost impressionist artist, Sherree Valentine Daines as Artist in Residence.

As Artist in Residence, Valentine-Daines will sail with Cunard’s Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria,
