March Exhibition: These Lands of Ours

Featured Artist: Claire Gent

Editions is our first exhibition of the year at Teyr Fine Art, bringing together a gorgeous selection of limited and open edition fine art prints by Bude artists Hannah Wheeler, Natalie Day and Sue Read.

This showcase is a brilliant way to begin (or build) a collection, offering the joy of living with beautiful work with a little more flexibility than an original.

Expect a varied mix of subject matter and style across the three artists, with a range of sizes and price points, plus both framed and unframed options available throughout the exhibition. You’ll also find a selection of hand-embellished prints, each finished individually, making every piece feel that bit more special and one-of-a-kind.

Natalie Day creates semi abstract landscape paintings using hand gathered earth pigments, grounding her practice in a connection to landscape and materiality, blending ecological awareness with painterly abstraction.

Hannah Wheeler focuses on figurative oil painting on wood, creating multiple layers, scraping back to reveal underlying tones, and obsessively following threads between harmony, intensity and creative entanglement.

Sue Read collects glimpses and moments which remind us of nature and the spaces that support and sustain us. Layering washes of colour with memory, her work evokes the immersive energy of the ocean and coastlines.

Open Weds to Sat 11am to 4pm

We are delighted to be showing a vibrant and exciting debut collection from local artist Claire Gent.

'My work is about finding joy in the familiar. My local landscape offers so much, freedom to explore, an escape from the chaos of life, delight in the breathtaking views, familiar, but never the same. There’s a little bit of inspiration every day, and I’m compelled to explore these ideas in my art. Each piece takes me on a little adventure.

An idea starts with a colour or a line, maybe trees on the horizon, or a yellow field. Landscapes that I see again and again over months and years, changing slowly. I see new forms and patterns emerge, and hints of unexpected colour. I wonder about the people that have walked the paths and worked the fields over time.

I sketch outdoors often, preferring a quick study that focuses on what I want to say. In the studio I work in series, starting with exploration, picking tools and colours intuitively, and playing with mark making and composition. After several layers, I refer back to my sketchbook and begin to make sense of what is often a chaotic riot of colour, leaving sections of the underpainting visible, a nod to the history of the land and the painting itself.

Although abstract in design and colour, if you look hard enough, you may recognise these lands of ours, known, or yet to be discovered.’

April Exhibition: Sacred Spaces

With featured Artist William Peers

Sacred Spaces brings together the work of William Peers, Natalie Day, and Hannah Wheeler: three artists exploring the boundaries between form, memory, and the unseen. Across sculpture and painting, each considers space as something felt as much as seen; shaped by movement, atmosphere, and quiet presence.

Peers’ marble sculptures trace the path of a line moving freely through space, their continuous looping forms giving a sense of weightless motion. Day’s Sacred Thresholds paintings evoke ancient landscapes and liminal boundaries through stark contrasts, textured surfaces, and subtle traces of gold, inviting a sense of stillness and reflection. Wheeler’s paintings offer meditative spaces that blur inner and outer worlds, reflecting on what we carry, protect, and return to. Together, their work forms a contemplative dialogue on the nature of our sacred spaces.

William studied at Falmouth Art College, after which he was apprenticed to a stone-carver, Michael Black, who urged him to work slowly and entirely by hand. He worked in the marble quarries of Carrara, Italy, and later spent time in Corsica where he found a tranquil retreat to work and develop his ideas. His earliest carvings were figurative and followed the long history of English stone carving brought to prominence by Henry Moore and Eric Gill.

In the 1990s William moved to north Cornwall and there followed a period of fifteen years carving relief sculptures in Hornton Stone and slowly moved towards abstraction. In 2007 he began working in Portuguese Marble, a material which had a dramatic effect on the style of his work. In 2010 he embarked on a series ‘100 Days: Sketched in Marble’ in which he carved a marble sculpture each day for one hundred days. Working repeatedly within a time limit led him to a bolder approach to carving and allowed him the freedom to create more dynamic forms.

In recent years William has been investigating the movement of a line travelling in space like an air current, weightless and uninhibited. The result has been a series of sculptures with continuous loops, each one the journey of a slight volume through space.
