'There are no hushed tones, but a friendly and relaxed atmosphere where you can browse the art in the gallery, or on-lineâ€. 'I have been passionate about modern contemporary art for many years but found that I had to travel to London where often the galleries were highly intimidating and often pretentious. I fell that what we have achieved at Off the Wall, is an exciting space offering art that is affordable and accessible. We believe that this kind of gallery is unique to Cardiff.â€
