Westside Contemporary Fine Art Gallery (Temporary web site)
Having served us faithfully for nearly a decade, we feel that our quirky friend, Fifiefofum is no longer appropriate to our current endeavours to effectively promote fine art both inside and outside the north east..
We have therefore reverted to the original name of the site on which the gallery is situated - Westside. We have then given Westside a modern twist, adding Contemporary, so that the gallery is now known as Westside Contemporary..
CONTEMPORARY FINE ART including paintings, ceramics, glass, sculpture, jewellery, original and limited edition prints.
From the largest rural fine art gallery in the Northumberland, if not the North East of England.
With a unique and breathtaking view across the Tyne Valley.
Home to animal portrait painter and fine art curator Sue Moffitt, who's characterful and quirky COW and ANIMAL PAINTINGS and COW and ANIMAL PRINTS have gained international acclaim.
Including JEM LODGE, our scandinavian cabin venue built on the side of our 5 acre lake, which appears to float on the water and offers an inspiring alternative to traditional meeting venues.

"Art and About"
Art as an Investment
Unless you're very knowledgeable and wealthy you shouldn't buy art just as an investment, but because you want your life enriched. And as long as you're not missing a mortgage payment or going without food to pay for it, why deny youself the pleasure that a work of art can bring?
Buying a picture because it says something to you personally is the most important criterion to consider. Not how much you can sell it for in the future.
Above all, beware of being "SOLD" a work of art simply as a good investment.
Westside Contemporary is a gallery selling contemporary fine art, located on a farm near Corbridge in Northumberland, with spectacular views across the Tyne Valley.
The Gallery is also the studio of animal portrait painter, Sue Moffitt, whose cow paintings have gained national acclaim. Sue's animal portraits can also be found in galleries around the UK.
In response to the popularity of Sue's work, Westside produces a wide range of limited edition, cow and animal, giclee prints. These archival quality reproductions are printed to order inhouse and are framed and shipped by the Framehouse in Consett.
Jem Lodge
