PEMBROKESHIRE sand artist, Marc Treanor has sadly passed away.
Mr Treanor was famous across Pembrokeshire and further for his beautiful and unique sand markings found often on the local beaches.
He was inspired by the ancient art of sacred geometry which shaped the symbolic meanings behind his work used often to announce engagements, pregnancies and many other types of commissions.
From his website he explained: “I create an existence that can only be grasped until the next tide washes it away and leaves the sand empty and like a tabula rasa, ready to be rewritten upon….and all of that jiving around!”
Although his markings disappear under the wave, he created lasting memories for people and touched the lives of many.
Tributes flooded across social media this week after news of Treanor’s death last week.
This included artist J.ben: “He inspired me and for whom I have the greatest admiration. In my opinion, he was the best of us, by his way of pushing the limits of this art we practice and by his sensitivity.”
Cornwall police spokesperson said: “A male casualty was declared deceased at the scene by paramedics.
“The man, who was in his fifty’s, has been identified and his next of kin have been informed- Officers are not currently treating the incident as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner.”
