AN ARTIST who gave up painting professionally for nearly 20 years in favour of a 'steady job' has taken the plunge and set up his own gallery.
Shaun Rowley, 39, of Vernon Road, Worsbrough Bridge, has opened the Newburgh Gallery, on Dodworth Road.
He opened the gallery to sell his own paintings, and to create a forum for other local artists to sell their work. He also sells a wide selection of home and gift ware.
He used to earn a living from his paintings but left to work at a petrol station, and later as an events supervisor.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
