Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself. Original Mixed Medium on Canvas.
Thick Application of Oil Paints for Texture, Blended with Gold Leaf to Add a Reflective Quality. I love the versatility I get from creating my own stencils, taking Urban art back to its raw roots to create something original and unique. I get a lot my inspiration from magazines and media, changing somethings purpose to create something new.

This is the second time we have purchased from Rich & Danielle and as per first visit an excellent experience all round. Rich, as always, helpful and knowledgeable guiding us through their gallery with a relaxed attitude and offering advice & opinions when required. Once we had made decisions, before parting with any hard earned cash, Rich offered to bring our ideas to our house to check they were appropriate. They were! (Obvs ;-) Then, Rich not only put the pics up but rearranged our existing pics !!
Great service, great people, great gallery!!!

Great gallery in the heart of Hitchin, run by a lovely couple, genuinely keen to bring a bit of art into our lives. Their events are good fun and the art is varied; sometimes traditional, often eclectic. We walked out with a big painting of a chimpanzee called Meryl and couldn’t be happier with her. Rich even came round to hang her on the wall.

Rich and Danielle run the loveliest gallery. We often pop in to see what’s new and have bought a fabulous painting, which Rich came to our house to hang. It was a surprise for my birthday and he turned up with it wrapped in a big red bow! It takes pride of place in my dining room. But what I love the most is their warm welcome to all. One of my sons, aged 12, loves art and on every visit they find the time to show him what’s in and talk to him about the artist, the paintings and answer all of his questions. I have also used the venue for a corporate hospitality venue and again, the reception

As a novice in the art field, Danielle and Rich were absolutely fantastic. I was drawn to a piece they had on display but would only peer through the window. I eventually took the plunge and popped in. Danielle and Rich were so friendly, very knowledgeable and there was no hard sale, just a passion for art. I placed an order for a commissioned piece from the artist and we bounced ideas between us which was great. Our piece arrived this weekend and its incredible. Thanks Danielle and Rich for all your time and assistance. We will be back.

What a gem of a shop in Hitchin! I love going in for a browse. Rich and Danielle are always welcoming and were also so informative about local services when I first moved into the area (as were customers in the shop!) They are thoroughly engaging professionals, provide attentive service including keeping me up to date on the work of artists I enjoy and provide prompt delivery. Long may your success continue!!
