About

Artist and owner, Joanna Milne, opened The Gallery doors in September 2024. It is a welcoming and friendly independent gallery showcasing some of the finest artists in the country.

Visitors are invited to explore a carefully curated selection of original contemporary paintings, sculptures, and ceramics. Each piece reflects the unique vision and skill of the artist.

The Gallery is more than just a space for art; it is a community hub where art enthusiasts and collectors can connect, explore, and enjoy the diverse range of work on display.

The Space

We are housed in a newly renovated 15th-century Grade II listed building in the heart of the conservation area in Maldon. This historic location provides the perfect setting for our stunning abstracts, watercolours, and beautifully crafted sculptures and ceramics.

The 400 sq. ft. gallery gives our art space to breathe, whilst creating a sense of intimacy for visitors. We proudly display the works of numerous artists amidst the property’s lovingly restored interior.

The building itself holds a rich history, from being a stationers and framers in the 1800s, to a barbershop and an estate agent. Despite its many owners over the past six hundred years, it is the Dedman family who have left the most profound legacy, who inhabited the place for over a hundred years around the 19th century. A wonderful article by Stephen P. Nunn chronicles this interesting history further here.

OUR ETHOS

We believe in the importance of a welcoming and friendly space to explore and discover art. The Gallery embodies this with our approachable and intimate space.

MEET THE OWNER

Joanna Milne

An accomplished artist herself, Joanna was compelled to open up a space of her own to build a community and celebrate the beauty of British art.

At The Gallery, she is lead by authenticity: to seek out original voices, to collaborate with artists she truly believes in, and to curate works that she connects with.
