Thank you for your interest in White Sails Gallery.

My name is Joanna Downer and I am lucky enough to own this wonderful local gallery and to head up our small and experienced team.

White Sails Gallery is a family business. I took over the gallery ownership in October 2024. I have a background running an arts charity and have my own arts practice. We are a local Devon family of many generations.

White Sails Gallery was first opened in 2001, and quickly developed a reputation for exhibiting a striking range of fine art and photography. The gallery has always been keen to represent local artists, as well as a broad range of British and international, painters, sculptors and photographers.

We build on the dedicated work of Adam Edsall who developed the gallery’s collection over his many years as proprietor, resulting in a reputation for exhibiting a wide range of limited editions and original art by local artists.

We look forward to welcoming you to the gallery, or to answering your questions by phone or email.
