We can often find things for you and have art works delivered across the world. Cornwall has been a centre for art since John Opie in the eighteenth century.
The arrival of the railway brought countless artists down to explore the celebrated Cornish beauty spots: Polperro, Newquay, Tintagel and the like. Some picturesque places attracted numbers of artists who formed groups loosely known as SCHOOLS - notably Newlyn, Lamorna, St. Ives and Falmouth.

FRED YATES 1922 - 2008
Born in 1922, Yates grew up in Urmston, a suburb of Manchester. He worked as an insurance clerk in 1939 when the war took him into the Grenadier Guards. After the war he returned to Manchester as a painter and decorator.
As an artist Fred firstly painted the industrial landscape of Manchester, capturing the city with humour and vitality. He completed a teacher training course in Bournemouth and in 1950 won a travelling scholarship to Rome and Florence.
In 1969 Fred gave up teaching and moved to Cornwall where he spent his time painting the Cornish landscape and seaside.
Yates then moved to France where new scenes, people and colours burst onto his canvases. He died in France in 2008.
His paintings are characterized by bright colours and a strong sense of humour.
