Morpeth Gallery Information

Morpeth, founded in 1821 is Australia's second oldest river port. It is an historic village, located on the banks of the Hunter River, in the Hunter Valley, NSW, 10 minutes from Maitland, 40 minutes from Wine Country & Port Stephens blue water wonderland, and an hour and a half from Sydney. Trevor Richards opened Morpeth Investment Art Gallery for business in 1991 as part of the Campbell's Store Craft Centre complex, in Morpeth's main cobblestone lined street. Since then it has doubled in size twice, and is located adjacent to Campbell's Store. Morpeth Gallery now comprises a Landscape/Still Life wing and a Wildlife wing, each featuring 300 original paintings on the wall at any one time. There are also Giclee limited edition & open edition prints and other giftware such as greeting cards, children's books, illustrated books, mugs, coasters, snack trays, placemats and jigsaws featuring the work of some of the artists represented at the gallery. For twenty six years the gallery has specialized in selling only Traditional Australian Art - landscapes, seascapes & wildlife, by many of Australia's most renowned artists. The artists invited to exhibit their works at the gallery are all professional, dedicated artists & they must be published artists, or be an artist who has the potential to be published in many ways. Art is not a hobby for these artists, it's a business. Visitors come into the gallery & are awestruck by the caliber of art they see for sale on the walls.
