Jon Tremaine, Cornish Wildlife artist artist has a permanent display at the 'Customs House Gallery' in Porthleven. Here you will see a sizeable exhibition of Jon's unique contemporary art. Available to view or purchase are limited edition, affordable prints and cards.

Formerly known as ‘The Old Customs House Studio’ and the ‘Net Loft Gallery’ and run as two very different identities, new owners David and Heather Howe have renamed the gallery ‘The Customs House Gallery’ and given it a bright new contemporary feel throughout. Situated on the harbour side at Porthleven, the gallery has three light spacious rooms and a pretty courtyard garden complete with its own stunning tree fern.

The gallery features inspiring work by both South West artists and others from throughout the United Kingdom resulting in a new refreshing collection of works including original paintings and prints, ceramics, glasswork, woodwork and jewellery.

A warm welcome awaits visitors all year round as Heather Howe has her own studio at the gallery and can be found painting there during quiet times.

A complete picture framing service is also available from the gallery and if visitors find something that needs framing before they go home, every effort will be made to accommodate them.

He has already done work for the Guardian, Anorak magazine, DDB and Templar Publishing as well as many other smaller projects. His first Children’s book ‘Foxly’s Feast’ is due for release this year.

Lived-in Landscapes

Saturday, 29th May 2010 to Thursday, 10th June 2010

Late sunshine before rain, St Just part of the Lived-in Landscapes Art exhibition by Tom Henderson Smith In the Gallery at Trereife Tom Henderson Smith shares his fascination with all those aspects of Cornwall's landscape that suggest human presence. Centuries of farming and a long history of mining have left a clear imprint here and the themes Tom has been able to use have therefore ranged from field patterns to ancient sites, from clusters of buildings to well worn paths as well as a tragic and haunting image from the history of tin and copper mining. He also became increasingly aware of another lived-in aspect, that translating these images into paint or charcoal involved literally living in these compositions. Colour mixtures, paint layering, brush and finger marks began to coax a feeling of life into what he was doing and this, he says, gradually led to a sense of each piece having a life of its own. His aim has become to bring this quality to a pitch of vividness unique to the hand-made image. Open daily 11a.m. - 5 p.m. From 29th May - 10th June 2010. For Trereife House and Gallery look for the first right-hand turning off the A30 west of Penzance - for a map visit Google maps.
