Local Artists in Tenbury Wells

“I was looking for an original and unusual mutual around my bedroom walls. Graham designed and painted a truly beautiful blossom tree for me with fairies and butterflies making it look unique, feminine and inviting. Grahem was patient, so talented and really cared about the end result. I would recommend him to anyone looking for something bespoke from an amazingly talented artist”

“Simon created two beautiful Oil on Canvas paintings for the Bluefish Project. The Bluefish is a marine science research project which focuses on the potential impact of climate change on coastal communities of Ireland and Wales. Simon painted two images, one which depicted the economic value / blue economy of the Irish and Celtic Sea on Irish/Welsh coastal communities and one which portrayed the potential impacts that climate change may have on those communities. Simon is a wonderful artist who is incredibly talented and has a great attention to detail. He is very professional and it was a pleasure to work with him.”

“The painting was amazing, was soo happy with the design and colours. I would definitely recommend to anyone. If you want the best painting you’ve ever seen this is your person, better than Van Gogh in my professional opinion .”

“Leo Donaghy has undertaken a range of commissions and work streams in our substantive (25-room) Victorian house. These have included both original work on a substantial scale and renovation & restoration. His work is of an extremely high order on both fields. It is in addition a pleasure as well as an education to entertain Leo as an artist ‘in the house’. He is a mine of fascinating insights in his field and in general knowledge well beyond. Finally, Leo takes infinite care of his surroundings and leaves his work areas in impeccable condition. Original work •Major mural on three sides of a 3.5m-high Victorian bedroom above the picture rail. This embraces Italianate landscape, riverine, shore-side and Venetian canal-city themes with the central wall merging into a harbour vista drawing upon the Grey Havens from Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. Interspersed are family vignettes, recalling honeymoon in Venice, favourite events in children’s upbringing, pets, and mid 20th century sailing episodes. Execution, including an exquisite sense of detail in in execution together with the sense of harmony between the room and its bay-window surroundings overlooking gardens, river and meadows is of an extremely high quality. •The same principles have been applied to an adjacent en-suite bathroom / dressing room. This includes an exotic neo-classical frieze sited over a double bath, restored from a resin moulding of unpleasant tone to harmonise with the complete mural surroundings covering every wall and cupboard with classical a mainly watery scenes, from sea vistas and islands, to brightly-coloured birds of a flamingo derivation and submerged grottos. A sculptured merman & mermaid support a sconces each, and companions in 3-D effect frolic spumes. A door lets into a further bedroom, which can be separated by close-fitting screens on which Leo has painted scenes filling the walk-through access between the rooms. An elegant naked young lady tips water into the overhead Thomas Crapper cistern. •This adjacent bedroom is fitted with a walk-in wardrobe constructed from Indian pillar and arch remnants. Leo has painted the final construct with a jungly tropical theme. The inside door of a second entrance to this room Leo has painted with a 3-D effect harmonised with the Indian theme of the wardrobe. •Leo has used a parallel approach a teenage girl’s room, with similar remnants supporting a bed raised 2m from the floor. •In progress is the composition of a Lord of the Rings theme on two removable dining-table leaves. When complete, this work will be covered and completely protected by a 2mm transparent resin coating. •Also commissioned is the landscape painting of a dull double door separating two part of the house. Renovation and restoration Leo has undertaken with the utmost care detailed restoration of a range of artefacts, including remodelling where required. His unerring eye and skill with his paints and brush ensures complete harmonisation with previous finishes.”

“I'm very happy with my "Aeonium Arboreum" flower print from Lucinda. The image is lovely and with excellent detail. I love the sense of depth & form in the image. The quality of the print is great, and delivery was quick and well packaged.”

“Gios cafe provides an incredible service. What began as an enquiry into possible colour schemes, blossomed into a 360% radical makeover. Locating materials that enhanced my environment as well as focussing The design of my space through placement of artifacts found and created by hand revealed the skill of Giovanna of the 'Gios cafe' enterprise. It is quite unique to actually be involved with a designer who can take elements of a space and then go further to create artifacts, glass or mixed media, that encapsulate the essence of your concept. I cannot recommend Giovanna and the 'Gios Cafe' highly enough.”

“Pierre has an extensive knowledge of decorative finishes and can apply these to traditional and contemporary projects. He is skilful, patient and pays great attention to detail and will go the extra mile to achieve the desired effect and meet his deadlines, and he has very nice people working for him, so they are a pleasure to have around. He has worked on many of my refurbishment projects having done finishes such as; linen effect. colour washes, distressed effects, painted furniture and floors, and I look forward to working with him again in the future.”

“Found Fotoviva to be highly professional, extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. All work was done to required deadlines and I am really happy with the outcome. Thanks again”

“Victoria made a picture for me that I used as a gift for my sister in law's wedding. Victoria willingly made minor changes to the picture as I requested (I was very nit-picky!) and was always very prompt with her changes. The picture turned out beautifully and my sister in law loved the unique gift! I highly recommend Victoria and her beautiful work.”
