How long to stay

30-60 minutes

Best time to visit

Aim for daytime, when the studio’s natural light makes it easier to appreciate the colours and details in the large-format paintings. As this is a working artist’s studio rather than a regular gallery, it is sensible to check in advance when visitors are welcome, especially outside the main holiday periods, to avoid arriving when the artist is unavailable.
