Juliet studied at Norwich School of Art and Design and it is here that she gained her Bachelor's degree in Fine Art. During her time at Norwich School of Art, she visited Japan for two months and studied Japanese painting.  After completing her degree, she focused solely on her own painting and exhibited across the UK. After painting consistently for a few years she decided to do a Masters at Wimbledon College of Art where she studied Fine Art Painting. Juliet has joined the Hidden team after working in a London gallery for a number of years and is the manager of the Brighton Gallery.

Louis Fowler is a Gallery Associate at Hidden. He was born and raised in London, before relocating to Brighton & Hove in 2018. With a background in the Arts and Service industries, Louis prides himself on attention to detail and establishing excellent working relationships with his colleagues and customers. As a working artist himself, Louis' passions lie not only in learning about artists and their output, but also the importance of the various roles that it plays in our everyday lives.

The Hidden Galleries are owned and run by me, Chris Kendall. I'm a Yorkshireman/Bristolian hybrid, which explains my love of pork pies and cider, brass bands and Massive Attack. After departing the Lake District in a tank top and a beret to join the RAF in 1978, I moved on to work for the government and run businesses in retail and publishing before finally realising my dream of playing for Bradford City opening an art gallery.

My life as a collector started with a pair of Dali etchings and then over time gathering a small collection. I loved finding exciting works of art, and experiencing the thrill of owning and sharing these incredible slices of history.

So, in 2014 Hidden was born with a plan to offer not only the best art by the most notable artists, but to change the perception of what a gallery is. We offer serious art, in a fun, relaxed environment, with all the help you need from our knowledgeable and approachable team.

At Hidden in Bristol and Brighton you will find work in a variety of mediums by renowned artists, from Picasso and Matisse to Tracey Emin, Damien Hirst and Banksy alongside inspirational art by carefully chosen contemporary artists.
