Directions

07810 885377

Creative photographer/digital artist Sally Davies and (predominantly) portrait painter Elizabeth Sporne work and show at Goldfish Bowl Studio. Open to the public every Saturday (at least) plus visits by appointment and during various Open Studios events. WHERE WE ARE
Our studio is in the heart of the Art & Vintage Quarter, just off the junction of St Michael's Lane and Gundry Lane in Bridport, a vibrant little market town with a growing reputation for art, food and somewhat bohemian culture, which nestles in the rolling hills a mile or so back from the World Heritage status Jurassic Coast in Dorset, on the south coast of England. Goldfish Bowl Studio is found at the western (riverside) end of the Edwards/Tower Building, the square-towered brick Victorian rope factory which now houses St Michael's Studios. It is situated on the middle floor, accessed via the door under the blue-clad staircase, through the lobby and up the internal staircase. We used to be on the top floor (thus our previous name of 'Studio in the Attic'!)

WHO WE ARE

SALLY DAVIES
• Digital photographic art
Sally started out as a ladies fashion designer, but 21 years later her affinity with nature, especially flowers, triggered a complete change of direction and she opened a nursery selling unusual plants. Using photography to better market her produce, she developed a range of greetings cards and from this emerged her later work primarily as a digital artist. Sally has now expanded her range into painting. sallydaviesart.co.uk

ELIZABETH SPORNE
• Predominantly portraits
Revealing a gift for likeness in her teens, Liz studied painting at art college and worked in graphics in London, then spent several years abroad before returning to England and embarking on 20-odd years in publishing. She ended up on the south coast writing for sailing magazines and illustrating gardens, but eventually came home to Bridport. She continues with some other work but her main focus, now, is portraits.
