        • 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

        • 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.

Having lived in Cornwall for most of his life, David has spent most of his working life either on, under, or around the sea. He was previously a member of the St Ives R.N.L.I crew, as well as  skipper himself. His interpretation of the Ocean translates into dramatic,  semi-abstract images, full of texture and movement,  you can feel his love for the Sea. A piece of Davids work is a must for any serious collector.
        • 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!

His vibrant images capture their way of life on the Great Plains and subsequent fight for survival.  His work has previously sold in the USA and South Africa,  so we are delighted to be hosting a collection of his unique work.
        • Mark Fox
        • Stephen AdamsStephen Adams began work as an apprentice engineering toolmaker, and later qualified as an engineering design draughtsman in 1972. He completed his degree course in 1979 at Loughborough College of Art & Design, gaining a First-Class Honours degree in ceramics and 3D design. Much of his work is influenced by his previous engineering training, which has continued to develop using different materials and techniques. He uses a variety of ceramic materials, usually dependent on the scale or thermal qualities required. These include craft crank for large scale sculptures, T-material for raku, and porcelain for smaller pieces. His work is often completed and complimented using bolts, chains and mechanical fittings. His interest lies not with the practical element of ceramic forms, but with the sculptural. He is continuing to pursue the theme of mechanical forms and gathers stimulus from the rich industrial heritage of the Black Country, and from photographs taken of shipwrecks whilst scuba diving.
        • Ben GoymourBen Goymour (born in 1985) spent 20 years in the army serving in 29 Commando regiment as a bombardier,  he did many tours in America,  Norway, and Afghanistan as a section commander. On leaving the army in 2017, Ben became obsessed with painting,  getting up at 4am some mornings to start. His inspiration comes from his passion for nature and adventure,  he spends hours studying how the light falls on the landscape to create a sense of mood and a “you just had to be there ” feeling in all his work. We’re delighted to welcome him to our team here at Duffield Art Gallery.
        • Mark LangleyMark grew up in Derby and studied in Sheffield, always staying near the inspiring Peak District landscape. You can spot Marks work by its highly detailed finish.

Self taught, he began painting at an early age and sold his first picture at just 13years old.  In his teens Richard bred pheasants,  quails, ducks and finches. Birds remain his first love and inspiration,  watching them and sketching them, observing how they interact with each other. Richard has his own gallery and studio on the iconic Chatsworth Estate at Pilsley. We feel very privileged to host a selection of his work here in Belper. Every one of Richards paintings includes his trademark ‘fly’, can you spot it?
