Press!


Make sure you grab yourself a copy of 'House & Home Ideas' magazine this month. 'Red Towel' (second on top row) has featured in a double page spread promoting red/orange artwork for interiors.
This is the first glossy magazine Claire Boyce has shown her work in and we are hoping to promote more images in a similar format throughout the year.

Miniatures...

'Reading' and 'Picnic' miniatures
Claire Boyce
Oil & Acrylic on canvas

New to the collection are a set of original miniatures by Claire Boyce. They can be seen on the website and are selling well in 'Regatta Fine Art', Holt, Norfolk.
Miniatures are a great way to start collecting artwork. They are small and compatible making them an interesting talking point in any room.
These two pieces in particular show a detailed approach from Claire's larger canvas pieces. They are a almost a 'close up' of the figures from her landscape work, still set in the loose and contemporary syle.

The First Prints...


Spring finally feels near and we are gaining more and more interest about Claire's stormy spring skies within the new collection. Since January of this year we have taken on board some new Galleries to add to our list who are actively showing both Originals and Limited Editions. A full list of all participating outlets can be found on the website: http://www.artgardenstudios.co.uk/

For those of you who plan to visit the 'Art Ireland Spring Fair' in Dublin then look out for Claire exhibiting her work with 'The Red Gallery'. The Fair is open from 30th march to 1st April.

We are also working on launching our new range of Fine Art Greetings Cards in a square format. Details will follow shortly....

WHO ARE WE?

Art Garden Studios are a new family run fine art publishing company based in the heart of North-Norfolk. Founded by established artist Claire Boyce and her daughter Holly, Art Garden Studios aims to ethically promote and provide high quality original artwork, prints, cards and commissions. Claire's partner Gary is also involved in the new venture so the year ahead promises an exciting mix of events, exhibitions and fresh work all of which can be viewed on the website and blog.

We currently only promote the artist Claire Boyce, but are keen to expand the business with further artists involvement in the future. Born in London, Claire undertook formal training as a children’s Illustrator, but on moving to Norfolk with her family in 2002 has returned to her first love of fine art painting. Working in oils and acrylic, Claire produces medium to large-scale works that have been purchased by corporate and private collectors worldwide.

WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT US?

We are an ETHICAL publishing company who survive not only for profit but also to promote excellent art products at a standard that does not abuse or take advantage of any party involved. At present, we are sourcing local suppliers and environmentally friendly materials. This is an area we hope to expand and develop in time.
