    History
    In the 1970s, Herefordshire farmer Stephen Dale faced a life-threatening battle with leukaemia. During his treatment at St Bartholomew’s Hospital in London, he found solace and inspiration in the art at the Tate Gallery, particularly Carl Andre’s controversial brick installation. This profound experience ignited Stephen’s passion for art and his desire to give back. Upon retirement, he established Canwood Gallery to share the inspiring and healing qualities of art with others.
