Art Gallery in Leigh on Sea.

Welcome to my art studio and tiny art gallery right in the heart of Leigh-on-Sea, Essex.  Set within a shipping container in Leigh Marina, my  working studio and jewel-like gallery opens at weekends and for appointments. 

Come and see where the art is created and listen to the stories behind the work. See my paintings up close where you can explore the fine details and rich layering in person. 

Find me at Unit 6, Leigh Marina, High St, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex. SS9 2ES

To see larger work, take a short walk into the bustling broadway and see more paintings downstairs at Squeeze Cafe, 96 Leigh Broadway, SS9 1AB.

 

The Story- Studio and Art Gallery in Leigh-on-Sea.

My Studio and art gallery at Leigh Marina....

When I first stepped into the studio at Leigh Marina back in October, I imagined it simply as a place to work – somewhere to spread out canvases, get messy with paint, and carve out quiet time for creating. What I didn’t expect was how much the space itself would shape my practice and open up new possibilities.

At first, it was just me and my materials, a tucked-away corner where I could experiment without distraction. But as the weeks went by, the studio began to feel like more than just a workspace. Slowly, it transformed into a place of connection,  where I could welcome visitors, have conversations about art and let people see my paintings in the light they were made in.

Now, the studio has become part-working space, part-gallery. Though small in scale, it feels like a jewel-like setting, perfectly suited to displaying my smaller and medium sized works. It’s intimate, personal and allows me to share my art in a way that feels true to its atmosphere.

I’m open at weekends between 11am and 3pm and also by appointment. If you’re planning a special visit, just send me a message so I can make sure I’m there. I’d love to welcome you into the space and share the story of my work in person.
