We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who visited us at the Cheltenham Art Fair. It was a pleasure to meet so many new clients, as well as reconnect with those of you we know from the area.
The weekend was a fantastic success, and we are incredibly grateful for your support.
A special thank you also goes to our artists, whose dedication and hard work made the show possible. There truly is no Jarva Gallery without you.
A small selection of works from the fair remains available. If you saw a piece on the stand and would like to check availability, or if you would like to arrange a viewing, please do get in touch, we would be delighted to help.

Past Exhibitions & Events
Remembering Diana Syder
Diana was a gifted painter and poet whose work captured the beauty of the natural world through loose, contemporary landscapes, still lifes, and abstracts. Based in Taddington, she exhibited regularly at Jarva Gallery and inspired many through her teaching, workshops, and writing.
Following her diagnosis with a brain tumour in spring 2022, Diana’s creative process was sadly brought to a halt. Not long after a sell-out exhibition of her paintings, we received the heartbreaking news of her passing, before she could know the full extent of her success and the joy her work brought to others.
Around a year later, her husband Martin reached out to us regarding Diana’s remaining works. After visiting her studio, Lyndsey and Martin carefully selected a collection of pieces ,both complete and unfinished, to form an exhibition celebrating Diana’s life and creativity.
The event, held at Jarva Fine Art in Buxton, featured her artwork alongside her studio stool and easel, a poignant reminder of her enduring artistic spirit. In honour of Diana 10% of all proceeds were donated to Blythe House Hospice, a local charity who cared for Diana during her final months.
Northern Art Exhibition- Spring 2025
Celebrating the creativity and character of the North, Jarva Gallery presented a special exhibition showcasing both established and emerging northern artists.
The collection featured works by resident artists Roderick Thackray, Steve McLoughlin, Leigh Lambert, and Ben Ark, alongside newcomers Andrew Hunt and Mark Brierley.
This exhibition was distinguished by the individuality of each artist’s interpretation of northern life and landscape, from Roderick Thackray’s imagined industrial scenes shaped by his years in the mining industry, to Andrew Hunt’s expressive portraits capturing the warmth and humanity behind his northern characters.
The contrast continued in the landscapes of Mark Brierley and Steve McLoughlin, one evoking the mood and drama of the lakes and moors, the other celebrating the vibrancy of meadows and rivers.
A true celebration of northern talent, the exhibition reflected the diversity, humour, and authenticity that define the region’s creative spirit.
