Biddy and Bill Picard's unparalleled craftsmanship is reflected in this unique range of pieces, each hand-crafted in the picturesque Lamorna Valley. With a style that has been showcased in galleries across Cornwall, the Midlands and beyond, Biddy Picard's wooden creations exude sophistication and timeless elegance

Biddy's paintings are widely collected and included in many private collections in both the United Kingdom and Europe. “I try in my painting to convey some of the particular magic of West Penwith; the feeling of remoteness, the intensity of light and the rapid changes of mood. Thrusting into a restless sea, it is an “end place” where little harbours cling to the stern granite rocks, for me a special land unlike any other”. Due to failing eyesight Biddy unfortunately no longer paints but remains as vivacious as she ever was.
