Canonteign Falls welcomes new guest artist Lucy Beagley – launch day Saturday 13th September

Imagine popping into Canonteign Kitchen for that much-needed coffee or lunch with friends, and being greeted by delicate watercolour paintings of Devon’s native wildlife, all created by a local illustrator who lives just down the road. That’s exactly what awaits you from the beginning of September until we close for the season, as we welcome Devon artist Lucy Beagley to our café gallery.

Who is Lucy Beagley?

Lucy Beagley is a talented illustrator based in the beautiful Teign Valley, Devon. Her work is steeped in the quiet magic of the local landscape. Specialising in watercolours, Lucy captures the textures and colours of birds, plants and animals you might spot here at Canonteign Falls or even in your own garden.

Her illustrations feel whispered from the natural world around us: delicate, detailed and deeply rooted in place. It’s fair to say her art feels like a warm greeting from nature itself.

What to Expect from the Exhibition

When: From the 13th of September through to 2 November, the final day of our season.
Where: On the café gallery walls — free to enter while you enjoy a coffee, cake or comforting lunch.
Why Visit: Lucy’s work brings Devon’s nature indoors. Supporting local artists and small businesses helps keep our creative community thriving.

Local connections have always been at the heart of Canonteign Falls, and we are proud to showcase and celebrate the amazing talent within our area. Whether you’re sharing a slice of cake with your children, relaxing after a woodland walk, or meeting a friend, Lucy’s illustrations offer a moment of calm and beauty in our lakeside cafe.

You can also purchase her original artwork and prints directly from the Canonteign Falls shop, making it the perfect way to take home a piece of Devon’s wildlife.
