Greensboro Art Gallery
The roots of Ambleside Gallery go back to 1982 when Ambleside Fine Arts was established in Manchester England
. Representing several of Englands leading watercolorists, the company was responsible for the marketing and sales of their works throughout England and North America. In 1994 Ambleside Gallery opened its doors in Grosse Pointe, Michigan and remained there for ten rewarding years. Over its twenty-two year history, Ambleside has acquired a reputation for the consistent quality of its offerings and its commitment to every aspect of service to its customers.
More recently, the Ambleside management team moved the business to Greensboro, establishing Ambleside Gallery in the heart of historic Southsidepart of the renaissance blossoming in this fascinating, evolving North Carolina city.
The original works of art carried by Ambleside are of various media: oil, watercolor, pastel, graphite, mixed media and a range of print media: etching, lithography, woodcuts, etc. Fine sculpture is also included amongst the gallery offerings. All works are authentic original creations by living artists from the United States, England, Europe and Asia.
In addition to the sale of original paintings and sculpture, Ambleside Gallery offers custom framing, restoration, appraisals and in-home art consulting.
The Gallery itself is a timeless work of art. Visitors enter the gallery spaces through beautiful, hand-milled, solid cherry-wood arches. Faux painted walls and rare antique furniture create a warm and friendly yet sophisticated ambience. French doors open out on a secret garden shared by Jules Worldwide Antiques, next door.
But the ultimate purpose of such an exquisite setting is to present, in a manner worthy of the art, some of the finest paintings and sculpture ever seen in the region.
Artists from around the world fill the gallery with their museum-quality works of art. Among them are English artists Phil Hobbs, Kenneth Denton, and Matthew Hillier. American painters Bill Hosner, Tracy Reid, Richard Sedlack and Rich Nelson, and internationally recognized Chinese watercolorist Guan Weixing, plus many other noteworthy artists are included in the gallery collections.
