Very sad to announce that we have been the difficult decision to close the gallery and shop.

Over the past 15 months, this shop and the gallery have meant a huge amount to us. We've loved building them, looking after all the plants, seeing amazing art, and most of all getting to know so many of you and feeling part of the community.

As some of you know, I live with fibromyalgia, and I’ve also been dealing with severe chronic kidney disease, which affects my health a lot day to day. When I started this, it was really important to me to try running a business while I still could - and I’m genuinely glad I did.

The reality is that running a place like this is constant, both physically and mentally, and it’s taken more out of me than I can keep up with. Alongside that, rising costs and people having less to spend has made things increasingly difficult, and with more of the same expected, it’s just not sustainable for me anymore.

Because of that, I’ll be closing the shop. It’s not an easy decision, but it is the right one.

I also wanted to say how grateful I am to have been shortlisted for the Thetford Business Awards. It genuinely meant a lot to be considered. However, given the circumstances, it feels only fair to step back and allow the opportunity to go to a business that will be continuing and able to benefit from it.

I still want to stay part of the community in some way, and I’m hoping to do some volunteering while my health allows.

Thank you to everyone who has supported the shop - whether that’s buying plants, coming in for a chat, or just following along. It really does mean a lot 💚

🥽 Artist spotlight 🥽

Nicola Gibson, is one of our newer artists, working with a range of media, making unique and intriguing pieces. We hear about her influences and techniques.

'My default setting is to work in 3D with shape and form across textiles, metals, plastics and resins but increasingly I try to channel these processes into photography.
l like to incoprorate it with acrylic, aluminium, bioplastics and sometimes wood rather than paper prints.

After studying I was lucky enough to work for an artist for the first seven years of my working life. I learnt to weld, cast bronze and lead and show work in some amazing contexts including Chelsea Flower Show and Hampion Court.

I tend to be fascinated by that which we find unnerving. I spent part of my life as a clinical, and then forensic, photographer. I've unwittingly been exposed to many bizarre, inexplicable, gross, uncanny. fascinating, devastating and peculiar things, that they find their way into my creative outlet.'

Proof that we don’t do “one style fits all” at The Art Loft!

Four artworks.
Four totally different vibes.

Moody? Colourful? Thought-provoking? Minimal?
There’s always something unexpected here.

Which one would you take home?

🎨 Artist Spotlight 🎨

Benjamin Conradie is another of the first artists to join The Art Loft, we hear more from him about his influences and how he creates his pieces.

'I have too many artists Ladmire but if there was ever a short list- Matisse and Picasso will be on it.

My influences are as much philosophical and psychological as they are artistic - writers and thinkers who deal with power, discipline, and the body are as ïmportant to me as visual artists.

My work focuses on masculinity, power, control, and the ways bodies; especially male bodies, are shaped, trained, disciplined and damaged and by social expectations.

I work in a circle around my art most of the time which means that you can decide if you want to hang it this way up or that way up ond with every choice is a new consequence and a new meaning.

Despite how controlled and austere the work can look, a lot of it comes from very personal material.'

🖌 Artist Spotlight 🖌

was one of the first artists to join The Art Loft, we hear more from her about a love for big skies and how she works.

'I have two styles really which goes with my often contradicting personality. Sometimes I paint directly, wet on wet to achieve loose style landscapes with an impressionist feel. Sometimes I plan, draw, underpaint and paint in layers to create more realism.

My themes are often based around lonely, liminal landscapes with big skies.

I am insanely messy, I abuse my brushes and I'll rarely throw any out, they can always be used for something!'

📷 Artist Spotlight 📷

was one of our first artists to feature in the gallery, a passionate photographer from a young age, we hear more from her about her work, inspiration and love of analogue film ❤️

'Photography had been a way of life since early childhood, when I got my hands on my parents 35mm point and shoot camera. It allowed me to document life as it was unfolding, to hold onto moments that felt fleeting and to recreate my own visual storytelling experience.

A love affair with cinema and a passion for analogue photography led me to study photography at college and film-making as an undergraduate.

Analogue film plays an important role for me because of its tactile quality, it’s realness in an artificial world and it’s relationship to time, uncertainty and imperfection.

I hope my work invites viewers to slow down and feel. Like remembering a dream or a half-forgotten feeling from childhood'
