News & Events

This summer, we are delighted to be exhibiting a refreshed selection of wire work sculpture by Nicci Dedman. She creates incredibly intricate sculpture from deconstructed chicken wire. Her passion for her craft is evident in the pieces she produces. She makes each piece individually by hand using steel wire mesh of various sizes. Some pieces have contrasting wire added to enhance detail where needed. The mesh is manipulated by hand to form a hollow shape of the subject, then attention is given to the anatomy and to the structure of the subject and/or pose. We are delighted to be showing a charming collection of dogs, birds and flowers.

We are also pleased to welcome back printmaker Diana Ashdown with her detailed linocuts and subtly coloured lino and solar prints. Diana experiments and devises innovative print techniques mainly with lino, exploring texture, line and intricate pattern. In the observed and imagined works that she creates, the subject matter reflects her interest in nature, landscape, garden and architectural settings.

All of this fabulous new work is accompanied by ongoing displays from gallery regulars featuring a fine selection of paintings, original prints, ceramics and sculpture.

This Spring we are delighted to welcome new artists Patricia Mullin and Nicci Dedman, from 28th March to 30th May. Patricia is exhibiting works on paper from two recent collections ‘Folk Art’ and ‘Tales from the Table’. A former textile designer for Liberty & Co and later an illustrator, Patricia has returned to her first love of creating zingy, bright, colourful works in pastel, contrasted with using gouache to create paintings with a narrative element, with titles hinting at stories taking place beyond the frame.

We also have a full range of limited edition prints. Bella is based in Norfolk. She returned here recently after living and exhibiting her work in California. Bella paints in oils on canvas.

Our mixed summer exhibition is now open until the end of September and featuring new and recent work from many local artists and makers. Joining us for the first time this summer is local painter Steven Levitt, showing a number of mixed media contemporary paintings inspired by Norfolk’s landscape and coastline. He is showing alongside gallery regulars including Rachel Thomas, Nigel Skinner, Kate Heiss and Mary Blue.

Steven Levitt

For the first time, we are delighted to welcome mixed media artist Steven Levitt who works from his studio in Sheringham. For thirty three years he ran a hair and beauty business based in Ealing Broadway, but also with salons in Soho and Pinner. From a young age art was always a passion, but running a business left little time to paint. He was lucky to be able to use photography as a substitute.

Twenty six years ago, he moved to North Norfolk with his wife and two young sons. This meant travelling back and forward from Ealing to Norfolk. However five years ago he was able to sell his business. The very next day he started to paint, and indeed virtually every day since from his studio in Sheringham.

He has had five years to find his unique style. For Steven it is not about realism, but more importantly a sense of feeling, whether it is capturing the changing moods of the Saltmarsh, or some of Norfolk’s beautiful beaches. It is important to him that when you look at one of his paintings you will always see something new. Mark making, mixed media and collage are all used to try and achieve this.

Our mixed summer exhibition will open on 2nd August featuring new and recent work from many local artists and makers. Joining us for the first time this summer is local painter Steven Levitt, showing a number of mixed media contemporary paintings inspired by Norfolk’s landscape and coastline. He is showing alongside gallery regulars including Rachel Thomas, Nigel Skinner, Kate Heiss, Diana Ashdown and Mary Blue. More information coming soon…
