The Hepworth Sculpture Gardens, St Ives is one of my favourite places to visit in Cornwall. A beautiful secluded garden filled with sculptures and plants. Her studio remains untouched since she died tragically in a fire in 1975. I love the little chalet in the garden and the conservatory with potted plants and several 1960’s chairs. There’s something magical here, it feels as if Hepworth has just left for a moment.
This is a wonderful glimpse into an artist’s life as it’s where Hepworth lived and worked. 
This collection of paintings are inspired by my visits to the Hepworth Sculpture Gardens and are available at Ainscough Contemporary Art Gallery, Dartmouth.
