Seeking the sublime - the essence of British landscape
…now with free UK delivery
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."

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.
