HERITAGE at The Brownston Gallery brings together three extraordinary and diverse artists in one stunning exhibition for the first time.
When Jean Jones died in 2012 she left behind a treasure trove of over four hundred paintings, all stacked in a corner of her Dartmoor cottage, gathering dust and waiting to be discovered. When maritime artist Anthony Amos died in 2010 he left a legacy of hundreds of paintings bought by a legion of collectors who admired his work for over twenty years.
Whilst neither received due recognition for their work during their lifetime, both are...

The Brownston Gallery has been showing this talented and popular artist's work since 2015 and this year it seems timely to look back at her unique – and astonishing – journey. Back to the days of being a student, through to stepping out into her own studio at Royal William Yard, to the present day when she has become a sought-after artist in her own right.

The Brownston Gallery is showing BEYOND THE BLUEBELLS by Landscape Graffiti artist Joe Webster in their studio gallery this month. As a plein-air painter Joe immerses himself fully in his surroundings, spending long periods quietly studying and observing the wonders of nature. His paintings of bluebell woods are simply stunning. Fragile flowers shelter and dance in the cool shade of the trees above whilst bold urban graffiti starkly highlights the difficult relationship we have with our environment. These haunting paintings are a harsh reminder that beauty in nature can be fleeting....

For others it is a more reflective time; a time to heal, to restore, to let nature take over and return our bodies and minds to good health, ready to face the challenges that lie ahead.
In this year’s exhibition at The Brownston Gallery Barry presents a collection that particularly portrays the nurturing aspect of summer...
Under the Midnight Sun is a collection of new works that draw on the wonderful light that appears each summer around the solstice, just before the sun sets, when the horizon all but disappears and the landscape becomes hazy and begins to hum before darkness falls. A magical light, full of promise for tomorrow.
“When people ask me what I am trying to convey through my paintings, I find it hard to put into words. For me each painting needs to speak for itself. The colours evoke emotions which have a personal elemental context. I paint what I...
