Jan Rixon bought T G ART GALLERY in September 2007 with her husband Sheridan Bowers (he is the silent partner - although does have his say!)

This is Jan's third re-start of career having spent years in the Hotel industry as a Purchasing Manager in some of the top hotels in London's West End.  Then moved on to selling and marketing for Swan STABILO makers of the famous highlighter!  Also in the range were artist pencils, after STABILO she moved to Faber-Castell, the company that invented the pencil!

Always a lover of fine art - even though she can't draw a stick man in proportion, Jan finally bought

T G ART GALLERY from the previous owners - she was only going to work in the gallery part-time having decided to 'slow down' (ha ha!)

Chris Cliff

Sales Assistant

Chris has been with the gallery for over 13 years, in fact she was on the inventory when Jan purchased the gallery in 2007!  She is an invaluable member of staff and has a memory of artists, images as well as our customers; which was, and still is a massive asset to us all here. 

As with all the staff at T G ART GALLERY she has a sunny disposition and immense patience with those customers who struggle to choose mouldings for their pictures - you are in safe hands with Chris!

Alison Thorn

Sales Assistant

Alison is our newest member to the team, she joined us in February 2011 and has fitted in so well with our ethos.  She picked up the art of framing with the speed of light!  Alison has a good eye for colours, styles and design in general.

Alison joined us from Reading Blue Coat School having been responsible for Marketing and Website - so she is a great addition to our team and we are pleased to have her here.

Ian Pullinger

Framer

Ian is an ex-engineer from Mars - the chocolate people not the planet!  He joined us when we bought the gallery and works in his extremely neat and organised workshop in Winnersh, away from us chatty women.

His skill in framing just gets better and better and he loves a challenge to frame the unusual and we have had some different things for him to do over the years.  He has a calm disposition and is able to think anything through that need that little extra touch.  Mr Ian, as we say is a very clever man!
