Nestled in the heart of Stow-on-the-Wold, our business has been a cornerstone of the local arts community for over four decades. Founded by Mary Frame and her daughter Gill Carrick, we built our reputation supplying quality art materials and handcrafted bespoke framing to Cotswolds residents and visitors from near and far.
As times changed, so did we. The rise of the digital age reshaped the art materials landscape, and we embraced the opportunity to transform into something truly special — a beautiful commercial art gallery, while proudly preserving our heritage of handmade, bespoke framing.
Under the stewardship of Simon Shore, the gallery has flourished into a destination for discerning art lovers. With an extensive background in fine art, Simon has cultivated relationships with private collectors, museums and interior designers across the UK and beyond, with a particular passion for modern British art.
Whether you’re a long-standing friend of the gallery or discovering us for the first time, we’d love to welcome you through our doors.

“Staff are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. It is a well equipped little art shop that has top quality products. Have had many pictures framed here and all have been of such a high standard.”
