painters, printmakers & visual artists
Every piece has its own quiet narrative. Paintings hang alongside prints made through etching, collagraph, lino and woodcut - impressions drawn from plate and block, ink and pressure. On our walls, in plan chests and across print racks, permanent collections sit beside changing exhibitions. A changing selection is available in the gallery, with a seasonal edit online.
