Why We Started JohnDyerGallery.com

Why We Started JohnDyerGallery.com

Our journey began in 1989 when we founded Beside The Wave Gallery on Falmouth’s high street. After many successful years, we wanted to exhibit beyond the walls of the high street and to paint a wider range of subjects inspired by global locations. In 2005, we created The John Dyer Gallery to share our work directly with you, giving us the freedom to work with inspiring partners and to build one of the most extensive and exciting print collections – something that could only exist online. As artists and gallery owners with over 30 years of experience, we’re proud to offer Cornwall’s best selection of original art and fine art prints.

“JohnDyerGallery.com allows us to focus on creating our art and to share it with you, wherever we are and wherever you are in the world, with free delivery making it easy to own. We love working with amazing partners for exhibitions, such as the Eden Project and the iconic Porthmeor Studios in St Ives. It’s always a joy to meet people who buy our paintings, whether at exhibitions or in person by private appointment here in Falmouth.”
