The Ocean Art team

Trudy - trudy@oceanart.co.uk

Trudy Crook lives in Southampton and is the founder of Ocean Art. Established in 1997 local Sailmakers backed her belief a sail branding business would be well received. In 2003 Trudy was awarded T-Mobiles Top Ten Business Women of the year in the UK.

Aside from Ocean Art, Trudy is a local artist and details of this and her unique work can be found on her website www.spinnakerlounge.co.uk



Shona - shona@oceanart.co.uk

Shona spent her childhood in Sydney, Australia before coming to the UK. After successfully graduating from University Shona now lives near Hamble in Hampshire with her two children and joined Ocean Art in 1998 making her our longest and valued artist on the team. Shona still returns to Oz in our winter months to visit her family. ( we would like to put a stop to this so more out of season orders would be appreciated!).

Shona enjoys world travel and has a keen eye for interior design.
