The English Riviera Steam Train Print and Poster by award winning Devon artist Becky Bettesworth celebrates the mighty Goliath on the Dartmouth Steam Railway, crossing Hookhills Viaduct with Broadsands beach huts below and Torquay in the far distance.

The Majestic Hookhills Viaduct is next to Churston and is located in the Borough of Torbay, England, which is also known as The English Riviera, with its Torbay Palms and mediteratian climate.

A very popular holiday destination and it is always a magical sight to see or to travel on the glorious, enchanted steam train. Much of the railway's business is from Summer tourists from the resorts ofTorbay who travel to Kingswear, where the Dartmouth passenger ferry takes them across the River Dart to Dartmouth.

Becky is very proud to live in Torbay and it is always a thrill to hear, smell and see the steam train go past, hugging the beautiful coastline and passing the waving holiday makers and families on the beach. It really is the most wonderful place to live and I hope this splendour and beauty is capsulated in the artwork.

Vintage style retro quote poster created by award winning Devon artist, Becky Bettesworth.  Her quotes and vintage style travel posters and seaside prints are reminiscent of the 1930s railway travel posters. I was inspired to create this artwork by a wonderful photograph I saw taken by local photographer Chris Slack http://www.chrisslack.com

An Exhibited, Award-Winning Artist

Trained at Bath School of Art and exhibited at the Mall Galleries' Not The Turner Prize, with a national award for her creative work along the way.

Inspired by the coastline

Every piece grows out of the Devon coast Becky's walked for over twenty years, capturing the colours and moods of the British seaside.

Made, packaged and shipped with care from her studio

Every order is prepared by hand in Becky's own studio, not a warehouse, with the same care that goes into the art itself.

Meet Becky

Becky paints from her studio in Devon, with the coastline running through everything. She made her name with vintage-style seaside travel posters, and now creates handmade resin pieces built around love and connection.

Before turning to her own studio, she trained at Bath School of Art and spent years as an award-winning art director in London, going on to exhibit in London galleries.

Materials, Framing & Care

Materials

Printed on high-quality artist paper, true to the original colours and detail of each piece. A1 prints are made to special order on giclée paper for the sharpest possible finish - please allow up to 7 days lead time for these.

Framing

Every frame is made by hand to order, so framed pieces take 10–14 working days to despatch. Crafted from white grained wood with an optional double mount, and glazed with acrylic rather than glass for safe transit, giving the same look without the breakage risk.

Caring For Your Piece

Keep your print or poster out of direct sunlight to protect the colours, and avoid rooms with big swings in temperature or damp, both of which can cause the paper or frame to warp over time. If you're framing it yourself, dry mounting and professional framing are both great options.
