Welcome to Alan Matthews Watercolours North Light Studio and Gallery

Please note the shop has a change of name to reflect the expansion of the knitting and crafts available. We are now called

Alan's Gallery & Kirkgate Yarns

As a time served water colour artist, I specialise in capturing the unique beauty of life and landscape in and around the Yorkshire dales and indeed beyond!

My work includes originals, prints and private commissions. Work is on display at our studio and gallery on Kirkgate adjacent to the great west front of Ripon Cathedral.

I am usually available to personally discuss my work, and my wife Dorothy and other friendly staff are also on hand to help in your choice of Picture, Cards, Cross-Stitch, Framing or Knitting.

The site is easy to navigate by using the links on the left which are self explanatory, we hope you enjoy your visit.
