        • Jeremy SandersDelighted to welcome Cornish based artist Jeremy to the Duffield Art Gallry team of professional painters. Jeremy needs no introduction, born in 1969 he studied at the famous St. Martins School of Art, then went on to graduate from the University of the West Country with a first class honours degree. He was also a ‘Prince’s Trust’ gold medal winner. His work has been commissioned for various national adverts for Nat West, Tui , Saga, and Cunard. Jeremy paints outside, in situ, in oils, with broad, intense, rich colours that vibrate with energy and light. But don’t just believe me, come and see for yourself.
        • Nick WalkerManchester born Nick Walker is the newest artist to come on board, he divides his time between here and his second home in Brittany. He paints quickly and boldly in strong vibrant oils to capture the warmth and light. Possibly the happiest and sunniest pictures you’ll ever see.
        • Robin MasonRobin was born in Staffordshire, he trained at North Warwickshire School of Art, and lives and works in Tamworth now, but divides his time between the midlands, Cornwall and the north east coast. His work ranges from seascapes to landscapes in either oil or pastel, with the main emphasis being on atmosphere and capturing the light.
        • John ConnollyJohn Connolly graduated in 1976 from Derby University and has had a successful career in the arts ever since. Inspired by the sea, moors and woods,  John’s work is full of drama and emotion, the observer can experience a feeling of peace, remoteness and sense of place. Painting mostly on location,  John divides his time between his home in Bolsover, Derbyshire and Cornwall and the Scilly Isles.  He likes to incorporate local materials like sand and dried grass to connect his paintings directly to the landscape depicted.  John is also a professional actor and playwright.  We love his vivid, energetic painting’s,  we know you will too.
        • Martin SlomanMartin Sloman needs no introduction,  former owner of the Cromford Gallery,  now retired,  has spent a lifetime painting and teaching. Anyone who knows me will know I’m not a big fan of watercolours,  but the depth of colour and techniques Martin uses, I just couldn’t say no. These aren’t just watercolours,  these are MS  watercolours 😍 judge for yourself

        • Peter BainbridgePeter divides his time between landscape gardening, painting and his passion for horse racing . His work is clearly inspired by the calm serenity of the garden and the visiting wildlife and the buzz and Adrenalin of a race meeting. His attention to detail can only be achieved by a true racing enthusiast . If you love horses, you’ll love these, we certainly do!
        • Peter BarkerAcclaimed landscape, marine and wildlife artist Peter Barker is the latest talent to join our team of professional artists here at the gallery. Peter , a former professional golfer, is renowned for his evocative landscapes, and lifelike depiction of water, he is a member of the Royal Society of Marine Artists
        • Eddie HallamEddie Hallam is an active and passionate wildlife conservationist. His bronze sculptures are in high demand both nationally and internationally.  We at Duffield gallery feel very privileged to be 1 of only 4 galleries  in the UK to have Eddie’s  work permanently on display. Each bronze sculpture can take up to six weeks to sculpt, then it is moulded and cast in bronze, using the centuries old technique of “lost wax” casting each bronze is then “patinised” by Eddie to give its individual colour and finish. A patina can never be repeated, so even though the bronzes come in limited edition numbers, every single sculpture is unique.
        • Mark Beresford
        • Kara StrachanKara Strachan,  originally from Southport, settled in Staffordshire in her mid-twenties.  She was from a floristry background initially,  this fired her interest in painting flowers. Her breathtaking images have a romantic,  ethereal quality about them.
        • Gill HamiltonBorn in Lancashire in 1953, Gill went to Burnley Art College and then Ripon College, studying both Art and Education. Early retirement from teaching has allowed Gill to focus on her artwork, and in 2019 she was elected a member of the prestigious Manchester Academy of Fine Art. She has held many successful exhibitions up and down the country. Her paintings aim to contemporise the traditional subject of still life with a modern illustrative quality that captures the everyday moments. Gill works from her studio at home in Cheshire. We are delighted to be exhibiting her work here at Duffield Gallery, I hope you love it as much as we do
        • Beth Sharliss
        • Steve SlimmSteve Slimm is a Birmingham born artist, he moved to Cornwall in the 70’s. He has become one of Cornwall’s most recognised contemporary landscape expressionist artist. His primary influence, by his own admission, was the great J.M.W.Turner. This has inspired him to produce a highly sought after collection of oil paintings, illustrating his unique ability to capture light and water, inspired by the ancient land of Cornwall. All paintings are oil on canvas, and the price includes the frame, but any frame can be changed to customers choice
        • James BreretonJames Brereton was born in Derby in 1954, and trained at the Joseph Wright Art School, turning professional in 1979. He is one of the country’s leading marine artists, and is inspired by Montague Dawson and Thomas Somerscales.

        • Cliff TowlerDelighted to welcome acclaimed the Dorset wildlife life artist to our team, exhibiting for the first time in Derbyshire. Cliff says “My work is my life. Everywhere I have been, everything I have seen and everything I have done is reflected in my interpretations of the world in wildlife, animal and bird paintings and portraits” Cliff Towler’s work has been displayed in many galleries over the years. His success secret is simple: do what you love… He loves painting studies of local wildlife. Avocets, oystercatchers, puffins resting on the rocks in Purbeck, or an osprey catching its prey. His detailed, vibrantly coloured and gentle paintings capture the animals in movement.
        • Thomas PetitThomas Petit is a range of hand blown glass made and created solely by Thomas himself since 1992, working in London, New Zealand and now here in Derbyshire. His designs are influenced by his own photography, surrounding nature, and everyday sights and objects, “sometimes it is the happy accidents that create the best pieces”. Each unique piece depicts the coastal beach and seascapes with alternative skies shaped by the wind. No two pieces are the same. Collection only, local delivery by arrangement, contact the gallery or email me at jill@duffieldartgallery.co.uk
