This is my favourite from the collection. Such a wonderful capture of Dartmoor’s liminal and spiritual nature. 💗

Our Collection ✨

Widgery was one of the West Country’s most prolific artists, creating around 3,000 works—mainly of local scenery—over a remarkable 30-year career. Dartmoor was a constant inspiration, with his paintings capturing the ever-changing moods and weather of the moors. Despite having no formal training, Widgery’s art is celebrated for its rich, glowing colours and atmospheric style.
