The John Dyer Gallery is operated online and by a strictly appointment only basis. We are based in Falmouth, Cornwall and situated on the peninsular towards the Falmouth Hotel end of town. We exhibit Cornish paintings.
N.B. We only offer appointments for viewing and purchasing original paintings.We are unable to provide appointments to view gifts, books, art posters, art prints or limited edition prints as those are exclusively available to purchase online.
To visit us please send us a message from our contact form several days before you are in the area and we will find a convenient time and day for you to view. We will at that stage send you exact directions on how to find us in Falmouth as we are not a retail gallery.
We operate this policy to ensure you have a personal and unique experience while viewing and we are able to focus on our art without the distractions of running a retail business. In the words of a very happy previous client:
"Everyone should see this place and the paintings how they should be seen. Through beautiful Victorian windows with the gorgeous Cornish sunshine shining through."
We very much look forward to meeting you soon; online or in person when we can, after Covid-19.

The John Dyer Gallery
In the early 20th century, a small fishing village in St Ives, Cornwall, was home to a very special artist. Alfred Wallis was born in Devon and lived in various coastal towns, including Devonport and Penzance, before settling in St Ives. Alfred Wallis was a self-taught painter who had no formal artistic training and began painting at the age of 70. In his early life, he had a working background as a fisherman and in other manual trades, including jobs as a cabin boy and cook, later taking on odd jobs to make ends meet. Wallis painted from memory and imagination, often depicting port landscapes and shipping scenes inspired by his maritime experiences.
Imagine walking into your living room and being greeted each day by a painting that lifts your spirit and connects you to Cornwall’s unique light and landscape. At The John Dyer Gallery, we celebrate this connection through our family-run expertise and carefully curated collections that bring Cornwall and beyond into your home
