OUR ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
Alison Orchard
Contemporary British Artist
​
I paint from my studio at Applegarth Farm in Hampshire and I love chatting to visitors who drop by. I am lucky to live and work in the beautiful Surrey & Hampshire countryside, but painting and sketching at the coast, is where I am most inspired.
​
I have travelled the traditional route of art school, exhibiting with prestigious galleries and over the years becoming a respected and established artist. Having my own gallery at Applegarth Farm, alongside my working studio, allows me to meet some of the people who fall in love with my paintings, to discuss ideas and inspiration and help them to find the perfect painting.
Come and enjoy some art! ​​​​

Visitors to my studio love experiencing the changing sensory process of my painting; Layers of brush marks, wax, pastel or marble dust, the pairing of a dusty charcoal line against a glossy daub of paint, or perhaps a pop of fluorescent colour. Browsing the two gallery rooms you can enjoy a changing collection of expressive sea and landscape paintings, alongside gutsy abstracts and a range of limited edition prints. The gallery also showcases a curated selection of hand-thrown ceramics by respected artists and my greetings cards. There is a lot to tempt and inspire!
