My wife and I often pop in to view what is on show in the gallery and have bought artworks large and small as a consequence. Sarah is immensely helpful, knowledgeable and not at all 'pushy'. Always a good experience.

Stunning artwork, really really impressive and so many lovely pieces in there. I would have given a five star or 6 out of 5 because the pieces were so stunning. But I was very shocked that the lady in there thought we were being rude about the prices. I certainly wasn't being an artist myself I know how much love goes into a piece of artwork. My friend who isn't an artist may have commented on pricing partly through ignorance but not because she didn't appreciate the lovely artwork and I explained that the gallery understandably needs to take a commission to cover costs and make their own cut. As we were walking out of the gallery we both said goodbye politely and were both completely ignored by the lady working there. I'm not sure if she worked there or was the owner but was shocked by her dismissiveness and then came to lecture us about how hard artists work. I totally know this because I'm an artist trying to make a living.
