Sid Burnard was born in Brighton in 1948. Introduced to the art of beachcombing by his Romany grandmother, Sid learnt to appreciate the beauty of nature from an early age. His time at Bristol Guild of Applied Arts gave him a profound understanding of visual arts and crafts and allowed him to put his personal vision into practice.
He is now based in Borth near Aberystwyth in Wales, where the flotsam and jetsam from the nearby sea is his only source of materials. Working with found objects, nothing is changed - simply introduced to one another. His driftwood pieces, usually birds, boats or mythical beasts, are full of his passion, integrity and wonderful humour.

About the Work
Sid’s Book is the culmination of 4 years of writing and a lifetime of living as a free spirit. This very special collector’s edition is a deluxe hardback containing 2 limited edition signed prints and an award winning dvd documentary. the book is 224 pages of diary, memoirs, tall tales from Burnard's past and 100 photographs of the artist, his studio, the landscape of West Wales where he works and his wonderful driftwood assemblages.
To accompany this collector's edition, Burnard has been working in our printing atelier to produce a range of collotypes and a special etching. These will also be available for sale as individual prints at between £250 and £350 each. Scouring the beaches for driftwood items under 2mm thickness, Sid has composed images with the help of our master printers Jan and Ian Wilkinson that reflect his love of birds, beasts, and the great blue sea.
