1 Bonnita Apperley Art

4 Valley Close, Brighton, BN1 5FB

Come and see the wonder of the South Downs, captured in oil paint by Bonnita Apperley. Her landscapes capture the magic of these rolling hills, wide vistas, and meadow flowers. She meticulously builds layer upon layer of paint and detail, capturing the nuances of each shape, and shadow, to create detailed, evocative paintings of favourite views, and corners of our stunning countryside.

This is her first Open House, having swapped her love of the North Downs and sell-out exhibitions in Surrey, for the South Downs, where she grew up sketching and painting from an early age.

Her charming 1920’s home, and studio is the perfect setting for her beautiful oil paintings, limited edition prints, cards, and etchings.

Take a moment to relax in her tranquil cottage garden, put your feet up, and enjoy a cuppa and a piece of cake.
Easy to find, the 27 bus stops at Valley Close, free parking.
