Susan Fowler Fine Art Gallery on Market Jew Street presents contemporary original artwork, prints and gifts by the Cornwall-based artist, whose distinctive pieces use locally gathered pressed flora with silks, satins and mixed media. Visitors can browse smaller gifts as well as one-off statement works and discuss commissions.
Susan Fowler Fine Art Gallery, based at Treasure on Market Jew Street, presents the work of Cornwall-based artist Susan Fowler. Her distinctive pieces begin with flowers and other plant material gathered from her Cornish garden or sourced locally, which she presses and dries using traditional methods before arranging it on silk, satin or organza. Metallic threads, pieces of vintage jewellery and occasional precious or semi-precious stones add texture and reflected light.
The gallery and online shop cover a useful range of budgets. Visitors can look for one-off framed originals and commissions, while signed prints, greetings cards, coasters and other smaller gifts carry the same nature- and coast-led imagery. Prints are produced locally in Penzance, and the website explains that original works use acid-free mounts, with moisture-resistant backing on medium and larger pieces.
This is a good Market Jew Street stop for anyone seeking contemporary Cornish art that is materially different from a conventional painted seascape. The smaller items make practical gifts, while collectors can discuss larger statement pieces or commissioned work. As it is an artist-led gallery, check the official website or contact the gallery before travelling specifically to visit, especially if you hope to see a particular original.
