Artist Moira Metcalfe established Artbar
Gallery some 15 years ago. The gallery is now located just
a mile outside Hawes, and Moira who has been painting since
she was 12, and studied for four years at art college,
returning back to her first love after her children were grown
works in four media: oils, watercolour on silk, watercolours
and pastels. Her work finds as its inspiration Yorkshire life,
and among her many artistic influences are the breathtaking
images of the Yorkshire Dales and all round this scenic and
vital region of the country, concentrating on the light and
atmosphere of the countryside.
Moira
has exhibited her work in many galleries in and around the
Dales, and was a founder member of the `Women off the Wall'
exhibitions at the Dales Countryside Museum in Hawes. She has
also exhibited in London and is a member of the Dales Guild.
Her works range from traditional studies to those with a more
contemporary feel, reflecting Moira's growing interest in and
experimentation with this style of working. Her studio is an
intrinsic part of the gallery, and you can watch her at work
while admiring the pieces in the gallery itself or shopping
for that perfect one-off gift for yourself or someone you
love. Open to the public most days from April to Oct, anyone
making a special visit is advised to ring first.
