Welcome to Gillian Durno Paintings

Autumn Exhibition 2024

My annual exhibition at Gallery Stamford on Maiden Lane, Stamford is running currently from 30 September - 2 November 2024.

The exhibtion is a celebration of late Summer and early Autumn, with its restricted palette of warm golden colours. Blonde grasses, vibrant yellow dandelions, and the striking pink of willowherb and thistle flowers against the dark backdrop of trees and shrubs are a recurring theme.

I have attempted to capture the mood and feeling at this beautiful time of the year in this exhibition.

My studio is set in the beautiful established grounds of North Luffenham Hall, appointments can be made with me directly to visit my studio. Please email me at [email protected] to arrange.

Workshops

I advertise my workshops on my website, instagram and facebook page. These are aimed at both adults and children aged 5-16 years. Adults do not require any prior experience of painting, demonstrations by myself and a step by step approach is adopted in the workshops, often from a still life subject.

One to one sessions, and groups can also be offered, please email me for rates.

I am a qualified primary school teacher, so I have experience of teaching and am DBS checked.
