Marc Treanor (19 June 1963 – 2 July 2020) was a sand artist living in Dinas, Pembrokeshire. [2] He was notable for creating intricate patterns on beaches in Cornwall and later in Pembrokeshire, Wales. [3] [4] [5] Treanor was well known in the county. [6]
Treanor produced his sand murals by sketching designs on paper before using a rake to recreate the design on a beach. [7] The work would then remain on the beach until washed away by the tide. [3] As a result of their innately fleeting nature and circular forms, Treanor's sand murals have been compared to crop circles. [4] [5]
Marc had a son and a daughter and had begun doing sand art to entertain them at the beach. This turned in to a career once he moved to Wales, working with a variety of organisations and charities throughout Wales. [2]
