The amazing paintings by Rozanne Bell have established her as the Gallery’s best selling artist. Her phenomenal international success is due to not only her versatile talent but her dazzling colourful personality which transcends into her paintings. In 2002, the situation in Zimbabwe, Rozanne’s home of 40 years, necessitated her move to England. With her large family and two dogs, she is now settled in Dorset.


Rozanne has a soft spot for Devon & Cornwall and this can clearly be seen in her fun coastal scenes. Her townscapes have hailed her the new Lowry! Returning to her passion for flowers time and time again, depicting their natural beauty in her vibrant style with acrylic, gold & silver leaf, highlighted with glitter and a resin finish. As the light moves around your home, the sunlight will catch her paintings with bursts of colour and sparkle which are simply breathtaking. So diverse are her styles, you could hang one in every room creating a flow through the home, yet each painting is unique in its impact.


Iain Faulkner is one of the countries greatest figurative painters. His paintings are so detailed they are often mistaken as photographs. Born and raised in Glasgow, where he achieved a BA (Honours) Degree in Fine Art. Iain’s mesmerising paintings capture calm and contemplative moments, intimate exchanges, solitude, sometimes melancholy. There is a stillness in the everyday themes which conveys a sense of inner-reflection. Original paintings by Iain Faulkner achieve in excess of £20,000. We have several customers of whom we notify with each new release, as his low number limited editions are highly collectable.


The internationally recognised Kerry Darlington, twice winner of 'The Best Selling Artist’ at The Fine Art Trade Guild Awards, as voted by U.K. Galleries. We are proud to be Kerry Darlington’s ‘Flagship Gallery’ displaying her original paintings and unique editions since Spring 2011, the highlight being her 2012 sell out exhibition at The Royal Gallery. Working from her stunning studio in North Wales, Kerry lives with her husband and three children and dog Chez Guevara! Kerry’s passion for art was inspired by a love of beautiful old picture books, which developed into a degree in illustration. This has greatly influenced her more recent pieces from fantasy, figurative to abstract.

Kerry’s 'Unique Editions' are limited in number, however each one is original, being hand finished and individually embellished.

Many customers have made successful investments in her work. We keep a large number of our customers regularly updated with Kerry’s latest releases.


Stella has the most amazing and instantly recognisable style of painting. We are fortunate to include her in our established stable of artists. Stella’s love of landscapes, water and sky influence her collection of contemporary abstract. Using oils and acrylics and silver leaf she demonstrates a new freedom of expression. With her artistic flair and versatility, Stella is happy to take commissions and create a unique piece to match your interior design and colour scheme.


Lhouette

‘Lhouette’ was born and raised in Luton, Bedfordshire, where he demonstrated early promise in the arts. Despite receiving high praise from his teachers and peer group, he surprised many by joining the Royal Navy on leaving school. Five years and twenty- one countries later, Lhouette returned to the UK, inspired and refreshed by the diverse cultures he had encountered. Lhouette's mixed media artworks are instantly recognizable by their vibrant colours schemes and trademark stripes, layering areas of intense detail through the use of spray paint and stenciling.

Allan Morgan is one of our top-selling artists it is easy to see why. Allan draws his inspiration from his coastal upbringing and now from the stunning back drops surrounding his home on the Herefordshire welsh border. The outlook from his studio over rolling hills is inspiration enough but his love of light, colour and atmosphere, results in paintings with a contrast of tones, vibrancy and an injection of colour. . Allan’s masterful techniques using acrylic paint to depict dramatic landscapes contrasting emotive skies with vibrant fields of harvest. His paintings appeal to a fine art collectors and contempory buyers alike.


Allan graduated with a BA in Fine Art and embarked on a career as an illustrator in publishing. His professional painting career has since focused on realist landscape painting, recently extended his style to encompass a more "colourist" approach. Visit the Gallery, or arrange a home viewing to experience the fine details, dramatic skies and plentiful harvests, inspired by the changing seasons.

A window to the countryside


Mia Tarney’s meticulous talent has established her as one of the world’s leading botanical artists. Born in Surrey, she obtained a diploma in portraiture and figurative painting from The Heatherley School of Fine Art, London. Mia’s intricate approach in her study of subtle shades, contrast, forms and space throughout her paintings have led to her original paintings selling in excess of £40,000. Due to Mia’s intense attention to detail and sheer scale of her paintings, collectors await her latest works in anticipation, available as low numbered giclee limited editions.

By enlarging the scale, the nature of the subject is intensified and so depicts concentrated areas to display a wall of life. In this way, the subject becomes an arresting landscape to be absorbed and inspired by.


Joe Bowen has become one of our best selling artists with his unique style of depicting London's iconic views. Using his fine art techniques with a contemporary approach, his stunning skylines will transform an ultra modern setting or a more traditional dĂŠcor.

His following is growing across the country as well as overseas.

Justifying the term

“The Wow Factor” “Aluminart”

Say “Goodbye” to boring walls


Two artists, one idea; unique, vibrant works of art to tantalize the imagination. Miller James, is in fact a combination of two artists, Matthew James and Alison Miller, acclaimed artists in their own right. Best friends since college who have blended their talents to create enchanting fantasy landscapes from their shared studio in Southport. Each original painting is enhanced with an array of mixed media, diamante, glitter, gold leaf and a resin finish. All of which are truly appreciated when the light brings them to life. Miller James’s paintings are a rare and beautiful reflection of two characters in one. .


Born in Glasgow in 1958, and so, growing up in 1960’s Britain, AJ was encouraged to let his imagination rule him. It was due to this encouragement that he turned to art as a child, as well as watching his mother doodle while doing crosswords. During his school years he was an avid artist and says that he was as interested in art as he was in dinner time, and because of this, was often late home from school as he was so engrossed in his art work. AJ studied graphic design and fine art for 5 years, and had a successful career in advertising. Eventually, there came a time where he had to decide whether to become a full time artist or continue his career. He took the path of full time artist and has never looked back.

Each one of AJ’s paintings is truly unique and full of humor and wit. We have found his paintings popular with customers who are bold and seeking a statement piece that will make everyone look twice, so much so that we now have a waiting list for his latest creations.

“If someone looks at my paintings and smiles, then it’s done its job”


Growing up in a small fishing village in Southport and never living far from the sea, Anne enjoys nature and wild countryside. She finds painting naive waterside scenes particularly satisfying as she can express herself in the spirit of the story without the constraints of perspective or realistic hues, and enter a somewhat imaginative world where all can share in these holiday experiences and memories. Travelling England's canals in her houseboat, inspiration is all around for her uplifting, nostalgic and skilfully painted scenes. Anne is The Royal Gallery’s rarest artist making her work extremely sought after.


Since 1992, Fletcher’s work has been widely exhibited and many of his one-man shows are now held overseas in countries such as Japan and Hong Kong.

Many are now highly sought after on the secondary market. We are delighted that The Royal Gallery is home to his exquisite new collection, of Artisan silk screen multi layered, Limited Edition pieces entitled “Quiet Space”.
