Nestled in the charming heart of Knutsford, Oil Art Advisory is more than just a gallery—it’s a carefully curated experience born out of a deep love for art and design. The gallery is the brainchild of Zoe Garner, a seasoned gallerist, interior architect, and proud graduate of the Inchbald School of Design.
A Vision Realised
After spending over a decade immersed in the world of gallery management, Zoe decided it was time to turn her passion into a personal venture. In March 2024, she gathered a small group of like-minded creatives and opened the doors to The Oil Art Advisory Gallery.
From the outset, Oil has been driven by a clear mission: to connect art lovers with original, high-quality works at realistic prices—from the celebrated to the soon-to-be-discovered.
What Makes Us Different?
At Oil, we take pride in offering something unique. Our gallery features:
- Original artworks from both established names and emerging talents.
- A carefully curated secondary market selection, offering resale pieces from renowned and iconic artists.
- An ever-evolving platform for local artists, celebrating the remarkable creative talent found in and around Knutsford.
Celebrating Local Creativity
We’re constantly inspired by the vibrant local art scene. Current highlights in the gallery include:
- Dreamy abstract florals by Sheila Scholes and Kim Smart

These artists bring depth, narrative, and an authentic sense of place to our collection.
