Burst of Colour
Art Exhibition by Alison Cowan
4th - 20th September, 2011
Alison paints mainly in Acrylics using palette knives. "Currently the focus of my work is all about using vibrant colours and fairly rough texture...The environment around me is a constant source of inspiration, be it wide lonely beaches, jagged rocks or smooth stones, stormy skies, rugged landscapes, interesting buildings, flowers..."
Various exciting exhibitions take place throughout the year and you can find out more about these at: www.christosgallery.com
Apart from fantastic paintings and art work Christo's also has a wonderful selection of designer jewellery, gifts and cards - you can always find something new and different. There is always something new to admire including tempting arrays of bags, scarves and accessories.
There is also some fabulous designer jewellery and you will love the slate range designed by Lorriane Loragan. Also very popular are the quirky snickkelldoodle cushions, scented with vanilla, these come in all shapes from Scottie dogs to shapely zedbra print bustiers.
When setting up shop it was one of Louise's objectives to incorporate her love for nice things with exceptional customer service and nothing is ever too much trouble. There are many added extras available - designed to make life easier.
The gallery provides: Home Delivery, a Hanging Service and Wedding Register - to name but a few. With this approach it's no surprise that Christo's has a loyal band of satisfied and happy customers, who return to the shop time and time again.
The shop is very welcoming and a far cry from some of the stuffy galleries that can be a bit intimidating. The art work is very tempting and there are also some very useful items in stock including 'her and her' cards or 'his and his' cards for gay civil ceremony celebrations.
Christo's is a great place to browse and buy and there is always something new going on with the ever-changing exhibitions.
