š¾š„š„³ Today is a rather special day for me ā five years since I took the reins at Park Gallery.
And Iāve genuinely loved it.
Itās a privilege to work in a beautiful town, in a beautiful building, surrounded every day by beautiful art. But more than that, these five years have introduced me to so many hugely talented artists and some genuinely lovely customers ā many of whom have become friends.
One of the things Iāve loved most is seeing just how powerfully art can connect with people. Iāve watched someone stop in their tracks when they see a painting, heard the stories and memories a piece can bring back, and even seen people moved to tears.
Five years in, I still get a real buzz when the right piece of art finds the right person.
So, a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has put their time, energy and heart into Park Gallery over these past five years ā our artists, volunteers, family, everyone who has worked with us, and, of course, not forgetting my wife, Hazel, who has been alongside me through it all.
Park Gallery is something Iām genuinely proud of. Itās gone from strength to strength, and I know that wouldnāt have happened without the many people around me who have played their part.
Hereās to the next five! š¾š„
