Owner and professional artist Lyndsey Selley, has a long standing passion with art and has been a collector and purveyor of art for over 30 years. During this time she has built up a network of artists, collectors and associated experts within the art industry which has proven to be invaluable to running Jarva Gallery and more recently opening a new exciting gallery -Jarva Fine Art in Buxton situated at the beautiful Crescent Hotel.
We pride ourselves on offering stylish and inspirational art by both emerging and internationally acclaimed artists. Artists are selected based on the individual talent and quality of the artwork that offer a unique style and vision to our portfolio.
The original Jarva Gallery and picture framers situated in Whaley Bridge opened with the sale of one of her own original wildlife painting that sold at Christie's Auctions in New York in 2009.
Needing a temporary space to continue her painting whilst her new studio space at home was being built she found the premises that was to become Jarva Gallery in Whaley Bridge. Originally this was only going to be for 12 months- Now 15 years later ( you could say she was slightly distracted !) the gallery has chosen to close its doors permanently in March 2024 stopping picture framing and concentrating on the success of the new gallery , Jarva Fine Art situated in Buxton at the stunning Crescent Hotel which opened in 2021.
November 2024 welcomes Ellie Meads, Lyndseys daughter to the family business . Ellie brings with her amazing people skills from her hospitality background, a great eye for design and art after being surrounded by it all her life, her youthfulness and energy will push the gallery forward. This year Ellie & Lyndsey took Jarva Fine Art to exhibit the galleries fabulous artists at the Manchester Art Fair. This was such a success they are returning in 2025.
Both share a passion for craftsmanship and believe in making "Art Accessible to all".

On Lyndsey's trips to South Africa to gather material for her original paintings she came across a beautiful leopard named Jarva. Over the years Jarva became a regular muse for Lyndsey, featuring in many originals and limited edition prints. Upon opening the gallery it only felt right for her to call upon these fond memories and pay homage to her own career by naming the gallery after Jarva. Anyone who knew her work new of Jarva the leopard and maybe still has a limited edition print on their wall or maybe an original?
We have an amazing passionate team here at Jarva Gallery with backgrounds in Art, Hospitality and Architecture to give you the best design experience and service possible.
