Local Love’s Farm Artist, Ria Gribble, is now featuring in our Foyer Gallery. Come and have a look next time you’re passing, or why not make a special visit!?!

Here is a note from Ria:

My name is Ria Gribble and I am a stay at home Mum. I live on Loves Farm with my husband and daughter and have been in St Neots for over 10 years.

Art has always been a part of my life. I did GCSE Art and Design then moved onto Art College studying for a BTEC national Diploma in Art and Design for 3 years finishing in 2012.

Back in 2018 when my husband and I were on our honeymoon in Mexico, we were flicking through the TV channels late one night when we caught an old episode of Bob Ross’s Joy of Painting. Immediately I was inspired by the wet on wet technique and how quickly he was able to build a composition.

After that I started practicing myself and when I built some confidence I start my own YouTube channel called The Gribble Vlogs in 2019 where I filmed myself painting. Since then I’ve completed well over 50 paintings and gone on to sell many commissions via my Facebook and Instagram page @RGribblePaintings.

My main focus continues to be landscapes and places in nature playing with colour, light and depth.

Prices of my paintings range from £30 to £80 depending on size. All paintings are in oil paints either on a stretched canvas or on canvas board.

Ria is featuring in our gallery until mid April.
