Snowdonia and North Wales art, Lake District and Cumbria art, Yorkshire art, rural art, equestrian and racing art, and coastal art - British art direct from the artist's gallery in Chester

British artist Alison Bradley's oil paintings, charcoal drawings, and prints capture the essence of Snowdonia, North Wales, the Lake District, Yorkshire, and Chester - the majestic landscape of mountains and lakes, the loyal friendship of farmer and sheepdog, the sweeping coastal vistas, and the energy of horse racing at Chester and Bangor-on-Dee Racecourses.

Alison Bradley opened her first art gallery in 2008 in the North Wales village of Betws-y-coed - the Gateway to Snowdonia and home of Britain’s first Artists’ Colony from 1844 to 1914. In 2016, this was joined by her second gallery in the heart of historic Chester City Centre, then in 2019 Alison moved from Betws-y-coed to Chester.

In the gallery you will find a selection of Alison’s oil paintings and charcoal drawings. Her subjects cover the landscape of Snowdonia and North Wales, the Lake District, Yorkshire, Wirral, the Borders, Chester, Equestrian and Racing, Animals and Rural Life, and the Coast. In addition to her original works we also display a range of reproduction prints and greetings cards.

Individual commissions are invited.

“Taking pictures are not allowed. They are very nice. Very kind. They have prints and custom made frames. I like how friendly the environment is. You step in and you feel that you are welcome there. I didn’t feel pressured inside at all unlike other galleries around there. I am not a person to buy paintings. But if I were. I would definitely start from this art gallery. Tell you what! You go in, you can smell Wales in the paintings. Keep up the good work guys."

"Alison delicately captures a moment in time, the light dancing across its subject. Whatever appears on the canvas - mountain, coastline, bustling street, or a farmer and his dog - Alison's real subject is the light."

We are now able to send framed originals and prints by post to most destinations worldwide.

Picture framing is all carried out in house, and we offer the service for your own pictures as well as Alison’s work. We have a wide selection of wood and aluminium frame mouldings including some of the very finest premium mouldings from Spain and Italy, and swept frames handmade in the UK. Alison’s pictures are all mounted in pure cotton board, giving the highest quality finish and maximum protection to the artwork, and we now only use the highest quality specialist art glass for glazed pictures.

Chester - Historic Roman City

Located on the Welsh border, Chester is one of the North-West's principal destinations. The City was established by the Romans in the first century A.D. and today is internationally famous for attractions including its Roman Amphitheatre, intact City Walls, a unique selection of independent retailers at street level and in the Mediæval Rows, and Britain's oldest racecourse - the Roodee, which hosted its first horse race in 1539.
