'I Can See The Sea' was founded by Lizzie Cornelius.  Her career in painting started when she attended and Art & Design course at Chichester College.  Afterwards she set up a studio from her home on Hayling Island and set to work for her first Open Studio in 2007.  

​

Lizzie's inspiration has come from living on the beach at Hayling Island and travelling along the many beautiful coastlines in the UK and abroad in her motorhome which has taken her on many exciting adventures.
