{"title":"Sally Bruce Richards","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"132\" data-end=\"462\"\u003eSally Bruce Richards creates richly decorative, idiosyncratic paintings that draw viewers into a quietly enchanting world of gilded landscapes and watchful creatures. Hares pause beneath windswept trees, bees and hummingbirds gather at heavy blossom, and distant foxes and wide-eyed owls emerge against luminous, textured grounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"464\" data-end=\"784\"\u003eWorking from her studio on the remote Isle of Mull, Richards produces each piece by hand using gold, copper, and silver leaf layered with delicate rice paper. These materials lend her work a distinctive depth and luminosity, giving each painting the quality of a small, treasured object — both intricate and atmospheric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"786\" data-end=\"1187\"\u003eHer practice reflects a gradual shift from formal training to intuitive response. With a background in interior design, art, and architectural drawing, Richards developed a strong foundation in structure, scale, and geometry. Since relocating to Mull, however, her work has evolved to embrace the organic forms and irregular rhythms of the surrounding landscape, shaped by weather, light, and terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1189\" data-end=\"1599\"\u003eThis balance between discipline and freedom is central to her work. Her experience as an interior designer continues to inform a refined use of colour and composition, resulting in paintings that sit naturally within contemporary interiors while retaining a strong sense of individuality. Often, her works become focal points in a space — quietly anchoring a room through texture, tone, and narrative presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1601\" data-end=\"1716\"\u003eRichards’ paintings are held in private collections and are available through a small number of selected galleries.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"secret-garden-2026","title":"Secret Garden (2026)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1241\" data-end=\"1252\"\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Japanese Watercolours, Ink and Gold Leaf on Oak\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1266\" data-end=\"1269\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1273\" data-end=\"1282\"\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 30 x 15 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1322\" data-end=\"1325\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1329\" data-end=\"1341\"\u003eFraming:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Framed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSecret Garden \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eBy gold and leaf, by rose and vine,\u003cbr\u003eOwl keep the key till hearts align.\u003cbr\u003eWhere ivy parts and white blooms grow,\u003cbr\u003eThe hidden door shall softly show. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sally Bruce Richards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58034456199552,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/9512\/9216\/files\/sally-bruce-richards-secret-garden-2026.jpg?v=1777961207"},{"product_id":"hound-and-hare-their-secret-pact-2026","title":"Hound and Hare (2026)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1241\" data-end=\"1252\"\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Japanese Watercolours, Ink and Gold Leaf on Oak\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1266\" data-end=\"1269\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1273\" data-end=\"1282\"\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 30 x 15 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1322\" data-end=\"1325\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1329\" data-end=\"1341\"\u003eFraming:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Framed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTheir Secret Pact \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eA hare met hound in golden light,\u003cbr\u003eWhere fear dissolved into the night;\u003cbr\u003eThey ran as one through dreamlike air,\u003cbr\u003eBound by a magic soft and rare.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sally Bruce Richards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58034479694208,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/9512\/9216\/files\/sally-bruce-richards-hound-and-hare-2026.jpg?v=1777961285"},{"product_id":"black-swan-he-2026","title":"Black Swan, He (2026)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1252\" data-start=\"1241\"\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Japanese Watercolours, Ink and Gold Leaf on Oak\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1269\" data-start=\"1266\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1282\" data-start=\"1273\"\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 15 x 30 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1325\" data-start=\"1322\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1341\" data-start=\"1329\"\u003eFraming:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Framed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt;
