A beautiful shop with extremely friendly staff that are helpful and know their art! Beautiful exhibits - I would definitely recommend - this is the real deal and art that you want to buy and hang on your walls

Fantastic advice, service and finished product. Thank you, and I would use you again.

Inspiring collection of art on display. Enjoyed the welcoming and friendly atmosphere, the knowledgeable staff, and excellent coffee.

Friendly team and always amazing art

My husband and I visited this weekend just to look around - the atmosphere was very chilled and friendly, and they have some wonderful collections from local and regional artists. A lovely touch was the ability to 'borrow' artwork for free for a few days which we took them up on as we found a piece that we loved. This meant that we could see the piece in our home and take our time to decide. We have since decided to purchase the artwork and are very happy. Would definitely recommend!

This brought much controversy that he was exploiting the body of an under - age girl as his own gains. This shows that art is used for popularity and financial gain. The message behind art is to show ideas and ideas that are relevant to society. Art is meant to enliven life and things, though modern art shows more if life’s negativeness.

the rather limited amount of years I’ve been on this Earth, I have found myself drawn to the world of creativity. I kept it in my pocket constantly, always knowing that I’d need creative insight in this world to solve difficult problems. I always had art as an outlet for many things, and soon I became addicted to colors, shades, and designs. It’s very important to me, and I hope to go further with it.
