🍂 Himalayan Monal by Geoffrey Dashwood🍂

Geoffrey Dashwood is celebrated for sculpting birds in their purest form. He strips away the fine detail and leaves only flowing lines, polished surfaces and a richly coloured finish.

The result is wildlife art that sits comfortably within contemporary sculpture.

Several of Geoffrey Dashwood’s sculptures can be seen at the Palais des Vaches art gallery this weekend.

📍Free admission & featuring work by over 50 local and national artists
📍Open Friday, Saturday & Sunday 11am–4pm
📍 Find us at the end of a long gravel track off Inchmery Lane, Lower Exbury, with magnificent views across the Beaulieu River to the Isle of Wight.
Lower Exbury Farm, Inchmery Lane, Exbury, SO45 1AE

Toni paints every detail with care and precision, celebrating the natural beauty of everyday things.

Toni is an award-winning botanical artist and RHS Gold Medal winner. Her work is displayed at Palais des Vaches Gallery alongside vivid paintings, evocative photography, exquisitely crafted ceramics and magnificent sculptures.
