Friends in Far Places
The piece reflects on how connection can exist without closeness. It asks why we gather around people we have never met, why we wear their colours, applaud their successes, and see parts of ourselves reflected in their journeys. In cheering for others, we reveal our own desires - for belonging, inspiration, possibility, and shared experience.

The gallery is small, but it punches well above its weight. Friendly, expert and hugely knowledgeable about the artists it represents and displays, there is always something of interest, at different price levels.
The Artist
Heather Bailey
""Art has the power to transform the atmosphere of a place, turning even the darkest spaces into ones that breathe hope.""
Heather Bailey grew up in Zimbabwe and South Africa, where a “can-do” attitude was simply part of life. From a young age, she learned to sew, make, and bake just about anything. She went on to study fashion and art, but the journey to fully valuing her creativity - and calling herself an artist - has been hard-won, both mentally and socially. For Heather, being creative is not a pastime; it is essential to living.
