I opened the doors to Laura Weekes Gallery in Holt, North Norfolk, on 1st January 2026 (my 30th birthday) after running an online gallery for several years, solely selling my artwork.

It had been a life-long dream of mine to open such a place that not only showcased my love for creating unique, abstract artwork, but to welcome other guest artists from across the U.K.

​

I want to create an environment where multiple forms of creativity and mediums are welcomed under an umbrella of joy, intrigue, and insight into the marvels of handmade talent. This can be sometimes hidden in modern day due to over-manufacturing and the decline of platforms for original items.

​

I have a bachelors degree in art from Nottingham Trent university as well as higher education at Norwich University of The Arts. I have also studied ceramics, textiles, and print making, and originally trained in realism and portraiture. I found this style to be too restrictive for the beauty i wanted to convey and experiment with, therefore, abstract was and continues to be after several years now, my labour of love and a true source of joy.

 

I find abstract infinite, it can be tailored to neutral or colourful, bold or subtle, and manipulated in ways that are unique to the artist. I particularly enjoy seascapes, landscapes, flowers and still life scenes. But my inspiration is endless through my travels, even down to the smallest of details on a peeled paint ancient wall, or a piece of fruit cut open.

​

Each handmade piece from my gallery, has been cherry-picked by me through purely connecting with the artist and their work and getting to know their process as well as appreciating the beauty of what they are making. Perhaps my love for a Richard Curtis movie or nostalgia for the return of colour and individuality to be returned to homes, impacts my choices for the gallery, but either way I hope for there to be something for everyone in the gallery at some point, no matter how small or large.

​

you can purchase either an original, one-off, unique item, or a piece of history that will last a life-time both for yourself, or as an excellent gift.

​

I hope for the gallery to be full of intrigue all year round that is ever evolving (and especially magical at Christmas time - my favourite time of the year!) 

​

Enjoy exploring,

Laura
