Summer Exhibition at Gallery Café Bakewell

Gallery Café is a gorgeous little café situated in the heart of  bustling historic Bakewell, which sells good strong Italian coffee, delicious homemade cakes and fresh food and snacks. Faye, the owner has a real eye for local art and the café walls are covered with colourful, expressive work by local artists depicting the outstanding natural beauty of one of England’s best kept secrets- our fabulous Peak District.

Dandelions in the grass

 I love the intricacy of a dandelion seed head.  And, just like with the poppy in bloom, its appeal is only enhanced by the knowledge that you can never keep it or preserve it or even get it home.

Poppies by the wall

Such a stunning hedgerow in June. There is something about the ephemeral poppy that is irresistible with its paper thin delicate petals, its black seeds and such a bright bright red. 
A messy June hedgerow and a tangle of leaves and stalks and flowers to take the breath away.

About me
Nikki Risbridger

I am an artist living and working in the French Alps.
