An artist with a gallery in Pateley Bridge is set to open a second premises in her home town.

Claire Baxter opened in the Nidderdale town 2019 and is set to open on Castlegate, in Knaresborough, this month.

Claire Baxter, who grew up in Knaresborough, said she is “absolutely delighted” that her business is expanding to her hometown.

As with Pateley Bridge, the Knaresborough gallery will feature a wide selection of Ms Baxter's work, which depicts North Yorkshire towns and landscapes.

The new site will stock Ms Baxter’s originals, including prints and paintings, as well as work from her quirky series, “The Wonderful World of George and Daphne”.



Ms Baxter said:

“Ever since I began my career as a professional artist, it was always my ambition to establish a gallery in Knaresborough, so when this opportunity arose I simply jumped at it.
"I am so looking forward to being a part of the local scene".
