We are proud to present a solo exhibition by renowned botanical painter Gael Sellwood.
This exhibition is especially significant: this show marks the artist’s final exhibition. It is a rare and poignant opportunity to experience the culmination of an extraordinary artistic practice.
Ceramicists featured: Rachel Peters, Sally Bertram and Robyn Hardyman
Gael Sellwood has worked as a botanical and natural history artist for over twenty-five years, and is a Gold Medal winner with both the RHS and the Caledonian RHS and a member of the Society of Botanical Artists.
Gael’s work details found natural objects, affected, renounced and used by nature. Usually working in watercolour on paper or vellum, her paintings take the viewer to the hedgerow, wayside or garden, recreating a season, a feeling, a scent or an experience for posterity.
Her favourite subjects are often dried, curled and care worn, rather than pristine and perfect. She focuses on creating texture and flowing forms in her work.
The Own Art Scheme is an interest-free loan scheme set up by the Arts Council that is designed to make it affordable for everyone to buy original, high quality contemporary art and craft by letting you spread the cost of your purchase over 10 months.
You can choose any work with a retail price between £250 and £25,000 from our great selection of prints, paintings, ceramics, sculpture, glass and wood. It is not possible to buy gift vouchers with the Own Art Scheme.
You can borrow from as little as £250 up to a maximum of £25,000 . We then spread the cost of your purchase over 10 months with an interest free loan. For instance, if you buy a painting from us that costs £300 through the own art scheme, you would pay £30 in 10 monthly installments.
