The Coquetdale Arts Centre is in Rothbury, Northumberland. The arts centre was set up in 1975 to promote, display and sell art for the benefit of local people, and visitors to the area. We are a registered charity, run by a committee, with the help of a large band of custodians, who staff the Gallery seven days a week from April to December. Without volunteers, it would be impossible to open the Gallery, and their contribution is greatly appreciated.
Each generation has grown in knowledge and experience for original art and this, coupled with a talented and efficient team, have made the company the success it is today. Over the years and through to the present day the gallery has continued to showcase work from some of the worlds most reputable artists including Jose Royo, Javier Mulio and Jurgen Gorg to name but a few.
Walter Holmes has been painting for 50 years. Following a formal education in earth sciences (Durham University and Imperial College, London), he studied art at various institutions, including Hammersmith and Chelsea Schools of Art and Newcastle University. Since his first one-man show in 1971 his work has been exhibited throughout the UK and is in private collections from the USA to Russia.
I trained at Newcastle College of Art in Graphic Design, I then started my career as a display artist for a large store in Newcastle. After having my three children I took on a different career path and moved into business development for many years. I started my own company three years ago. This has now allowed me to start to paint again as I mainly work from home. My inspiration comes from my mother who was an artist herself and she always encouraged me to pursue my love of painting.

Welcome to the website for Gallagher & Turner, specialist picture framer and art gallery. When we first opened in Newcastle city centre in 1990, our aims were to provide both as extensive and as high a standard of craftsmanship in framing as possible. Through the years, because of this, we have completed many diverse and exciting framing projects for collectors, artists, galleries and museums. We treat every framing job as special: a snapshot, a postcard, a medal or a sketch are all worthy.
