Why do you buy art?
20 December, 2021

If you had to choose one of the following as your reason for buying art, which would it be?

  • Art that moves you or evokes an emotion
  • Art for investment
  • Art to finish a room

I have been looking at the artworks in my house and have been thinking about what attracted me to them in the first place.

Each of my pieces either tells a story from my travels or are created by some of the resident photographers at The Cow Artworks or talented artists whose work we promote.

Herewith are a few of the artworks that are in my house.

After 18 years in the IT industry, Doreen decided to surround herself on a daily basis by photography that she loves which led to the establishment of The Cow Artworks in 2004. In March 2006 she opened the gallery in Parkhurst and has thrived in this beautiful space. Her passion for travel affords her the opportunity to take photographs, particularly candid shots of street scenes, graffiti and architecture.
