# Aries Gallery

Aries Gallery, located in Harray, Orkney, is a creative venture by Alan and Norah Bowmer that showcases their combined expertise in photography and machine embroidery. The gallery caters to art enthusiasts, home décor seekers, and those searching for distinctive gifts with a distinctly Orkney flavour.

Alan captures compelling imagery of Orkney's dramatic landscapes, seascapes, and wildlife, alongside scenes from their extensive global travels. These photographs are transformed into stretched canvases, pH-neutral mounted prints, and rolled prints in various sizes and media types. Norah's machine embroidery work ranges from practical soft furnishings—including tableware, towels, and lampshades—to intricate wall art featuring flora and fauna designs, and delicate handcrafted lace jewellery with silk thread and sterling silver fittings.

What distinguishes Aries Gallery is their bespoke approach. They welcome custom orders for non-standard sizes, print customers' own images, and offer monogramming services with personalised names and logos. The gallery also supplies polypropylene self-adhesive film for specialist applications such as signage.

Operating seasonally from their physical gallery space (open April–October), they maintain year-round accessibility through their online shop, phone orders, and email enquiries. Their collection continuously evolves as they travel and capture fresh imagery. This combination of professional-quality photography, skilled embroidery craftsmanship, and customer-focused customisation makes Aries Gallery a unique destination for those seeking authentic, locally-created art and gifts.
