Diane Hutt Gallery

An independent gallery and framing workshop in Uckfield

Diane Hutt Gallery is a family-run art gallery and bespoke picture framing business established in 1999 in Uckfield, East Sussex. The gallery describes itself as an independent operation and an approved stockist of the main publishing houses, and presents its premises as a friendly and welcoming environment for buyers of both originals and more affordable prints.

The business combines retail of artwork with a framing service, and its own account stresses repeat custom as the measure of its work. The gallery also states that it acts as fine art picture framer to a number of artists as well as to private customers.

What the gallery sells

The stock is built around limited editions, fine art prints, original artworks, paintings and sculptures, drawn from Britain's leading publishing houses, collectable artists and self-publishing artists. The range is deliberately broad in style, spanning contemporary work and traditional pieces.

Artwork is organised on the site by subject, with categories covering animal art, cityscape, contemporary, dog art, equestrian, figurative, floral, humour, illustrative, landscape, local art, seascape and wildlife. A separate section groups original artwork, and the gallery also lists new arrivals and special offers.

Featured and new artists

Among the artists highlighted on the site are Sherree Valentine Daines, Phillip Gray, Paul Evans and Heidi Langridge. The new artwork section at the time of writing included Durdle Trio by Gary Walton, Forever Friends by Nicky Litchfield, Cock Shot by Boid and the framed piece A Big Old Squish by Sam Toft, with starting prices shown from £170, £255, £340 and £136 respectively.

Bespoke framing

Framing is presented as a core part of the business rather than an add-on. The gallery offers a bespoke picture framing service at what it describes as affordable prices, with a varied selection of framing options and artist frames offered at competitive prices. Customers seeking an alternative to the framing shown with a particular piece are invited to ask the gallery about other options.

Buying, delivery and payment

Orders over £100 qualify for free delivery to mainland UK, and the gallery states that payment plans are available for its artwork. A commissions section and pages covering ordering, delivery and returns sit alongside the shop. The site also carries a newsletter sign-up and a blog.

Customer feedback

The gallery displays customer testimonials and links to a Trustpilot page; one quoted message thanks the gallery for a delivery that arrived safely. These are individual comments reproduced by the business rather than an independently verified summary of its service record.
