Hepplestone Fine Art, one of the UK's leading independent art galleries, is proud to announce the exclusive representation of contemporary artist Lucy Manfredi, starting Thursday 10 October 2024.

Founded in 2005 by Clive and Giles Hepplestone, the venue has grown into a multi-award winning gallery, recognised as the 'UK Retail Art Gallery of the Year' by the Fine Art Trade Guild.

The gallery now celebrates a new chapter of artistic brilliance with artist Lucy Manfredi.

Having graduated Manchester University with a Bachelor of Art Honours Degree, Lucy went on to work in several artistic sectors before deciding that the medium of painting and drawing was her true calling.

This included working as a graphic designer for Publishing and Textile Designer in 2000.

In 2018, Lucy was elected as a Member of the Manchester Academy of Fine Art in recognition of her artwork and now works from her studio in Cheshire.

Original painting called 'Tea for Two' by Lucy Manfredi (Hepplestone Fine Art).

Manfredi's vibrant and emotive paintings have received international acclaim and are held in prestigious private and public collections around the world.

After the recent closure of the Bill Clarke Gallery in Hale, Manfredi chose Hepplestone Fine Art to represent her, based on the gallery's reputation and roster of established artists.

"We are thrilled and honoured that Lucy Manfredi has chosen Hepplestone Fine Art as her new representative," said Giles, director of Hepplestone Fine Art.

The gallery will host a solo exhibition of Manfredi's new paintings in Spring 2025. In the interim, her work can be viewed at Cheshire galleries including Wilmslow.
