The Anne Toms’ Yarmouth Gallery is a small and stylish exhibition space located at the heart of the ancient town of Yarmouth, at the westerly corner of the beautiful Isle of Wight.
Anne Toms
Resident artist, Anne Toms, has been associated with the West Wight for many years. Canvases shown here were painted in her studio at Freshwater Bay. The daughter of a coastguard, she spent her formative years living on various offshore islands and cliff top locations around the British coast, and the sea dominates and inspires her paintings. LIMITED EDITION PRINTS FROM SOME OF HER LARGE CANVASES ARE NOW AVAILABLE. Complete cv and print list on request.
