Many art cards and posters are available for sale across the world with the names of artists John Dyer and Joanne Short together with the 'Beside The Wave Gallery' name, which were published by the Art Group in London and are licensed to the artists. Artists John Dyer and Ted Dyer founded Beside The Wave Gallery in 1989, but the business was sold several years later.
The publishing range of 'Beside The Wave' items associated with artists John Dyer and Joanne Short became hugely popular in the late 1990s and sold hundreds of thousands of copies a year across the globe making the artists' names synonymous with the gallery. Many homes across the world will have copies of these posters hung on their walls.
The Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust has a number of these famous posters that were donated by the artists and framed by the Friends of the Hospital.
