Born in Dorset, Greenacres studied illustration at Redruth Art College, Cornwall. Following 20 years in the advertising and craft industries, Greenacres decided to return to his first love, painting. Greenacres work is primarily inspired by his lifelong love of the Dorset seaside; the result of childhood summers spent on the beach in Lyme Regis or on his grandfathers deep-sea fishing boat. Painting primarily on wood, reminiscent of the driftwood found on beaches, Greenacres pieces have a natural, innocent feel reflecting his admiration for naive and primitive art. In 1989, Greenacres escaped from urban mayhem to a farmhouse in the countryside. He remains a convert to the pleasures of rural life, living with his two children and horses in Wiltshire._x000D_ These cushion are made with a super soft faux suede and machine washable and comes complete with the cushion pad.
