Northern Girls

On International Women’s Day, we are reminded how powerful it is when women come together — to create, to support, to challenge, and to celebrate one another.
Being surrounded by such talented, funny, passionate women inspires us every day.
Thank you to the amazing women who share their creativity, strength, and kindness within this group. I’m proud to stand alongside you all.
Here’s to women supporting women, to creativity without limits, and to the power of our collective voices.
Happy International Women’s Day 💜🎨🤗💕🌟

Proud moment as another Northern Girl makes it into a London Gallery!
Alison Stafford Art Abstract Landscape artist has her painting ‘Patchwork Earth IV’ on display with a lovely red dot on the label.
If you are in London the Royal Society of British Artists Exhibition is at Mall Galleries, London until the 7th March. Definitely worth the trip!

Thank you to everyone that came to our wonderful Exhibition over the weekend.
We appreciate every one of you and especially those that took something away with them. Even a card helps us to pay the bills.
We all missed Allie being there but she will be back in full swing as soon as her shoulder is better.
We loved having along and her jewellery was much admired…there are some lucky people out there sporting one of her items right now!
If anyone has gone away and had a think about an artwork they saw please DM us. A couple of people were disappointed when their favourites had a red dot on them when they came back to purchase so if you are something you like in our video (previously posted) just ask…it may still be available.
Lastly a big thank you to Clonterbrook Gallery for hosting us again. Everyone loves coming to such a beautiful place and it really does put the cherry on the cake in the whole visitor experience.
Until next year
With love
The Northern Girls

A hot off the easel preview of Zelda Pickups 'Life's A Beach'!
It's large and is the perfect way to transport yourself away from the troubles and stress of daily life!
I wonder what book you will be reading when you imagine yourself in this painting. We don't think it will hang around for long.
Northern Girls Exhibition is at Clonterbrook Gallery, 19-21st September, CW12 2LS

Di Metcalfe has new paintings on display at the Northern Girls Exhibition 19-21st September.
She has been inspired by the landscape and the ethereal nature of her work shows an adept use of the palette knife and her medium of choice, oils.
Atmospheric, magical, dreamlike are just some of the words previous visitors have used as they are captivated by the wonder of each piece.
Don't miss an opportunity to see these close up!

Clonterbrook Gallery, CW12 2LS. 10-4pm daily
