Artist led fine art gallery in Bude, Cornwall
Art that inspires and transforms
We have been extremely proud to have been able to offer high quality artwork that is a little different to the usual over the past 16 months, but this part of our journey is nearly at an end and the gallery will be closing its doors after this final exhibition.
We are so thankful to the local community and visitors who have given us such wonderful feedback, supported our artists by buying artwork and attended our classes and events. It's been an incredible experience and one that we will both treasure and grow from.
Natalie and Hannah will be continuing to work from their own studios and we'd love you to stay in touch - please find us on the socials: @nataliedayartist and @hannahwheelerart.
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.’
