A Serene View of Bradford on Avon

a serene view of bradford on avon by serena pugh

We’re very excited here at SerenArts Gallery as Serena’s book has been proof read and sent to the printers for a first look at a hard copy proof next week.  Everything is on track for the launch at the West Barn on the night of Friday 20th April 2018.  If you would like to come along and join us for a glass of wine and enjoy this event, please just let us know.  We will be at the same venue on Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd April for a chance to see the exhibition of canvases and cards taken from the book and, of course, a chance to purchase you copy of the book.

You can now contact us to pre-order this beautiful book and be put on the list for your copy.  The book contains a collection of photographic artworks of Bradford on Avon together with poems, prose and observations by Serena.

“Bradford on Avon is more than just a home or business for me. I have been the very worst, and best version of myself here. I have met with the most uplifting of highs in life here, and suffered through the hardest tragedies here too. I feel an affinity and deep affection for this town, like no other I have lived in. That doesn’t stop me poking loving fun at it though. This may not be as traditional as most but no-one can fault my dedication to this sprawling jewel. Please enjoy my personal view”.

Free Bradford on Avon Street Map

Since the beginning of this week, Serena has now relocated from her home studio to take up residence, full time in the gallery.  Consequently we have just completed our first joint project which is now available to customers free of charge.

We have created a street map of the town incorporating some of the more popular attractions, using Serena’s photographic artwork and Mike’s graphic design.  It’s a good way to have our promotional flyer on one side and the map on the other and not only tell people where we are but also provide some useful tourist tips to our visitors.

We will keep you up to date with the latest projects as and when they happen.  In the meantime, please pop down and pick up your free copy any time.

Glass Art Commissions

Following on from our last post, we thought we’d remind you that Serena also offers a glass art commission service.  Below are just the two latest pieces that we have been asked to create for clients…

Whether it’s a wedding, a birthday or just something for yourself, Serena will be able to help design a work to suit.  We now have table lamps as well as vases which can be commissioned so please get in touch if you would like more information.

Photographic Art Commissions

serenarts-gallery-photo-art-commissions

Serena is offering a bespoke commission service in which she will produce an original artwork of your house, car or pet utilising her photographic art techniques.

Working from your original photograph, the piece will be created in a style to suit your individual requirements.

Once the final work has been approved it can be reproduced as either a mounted print or a canvas in a range of sizes depending on your budget or wall space.

We have recently put the piece below on an 18″ x 14″ canvas for a customer who wanted her lovely little scotty on a narrowboat picture.  She brought in a photo of her pet and Serena used that and one of her original photos of a narrowboat to create the artwork…

We can also offer this service to businesses, restaurants etc, who would like to theme or personalise their decor.  If this is something that would interest you then please get in touch.  We can even arrange to supply you with the artwork free of charge in exchange for you making it available to purchase by your customers.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.
