Martyn Brewster Studio Visit

We were thrilled to visit Martyn Brewster’s studio on monday and select new work for Coastal Gallery – what a treat ! It was fascinating to view all the current paintings he is developing and to review work being prepared for us from his ‘Headland’ and ‘Coastal Light’ series – we have selected some truly special new paintings which are now at the gallery and will receive more over the coming weeks.
