Meet The Team

Shirley Jenner is the owner of Gallery 35. Forty five years ago she began her creative career in the fabrics industry by opening Bell House Fabrics in Cranbrook. The venture was extremely successful, beginning with dress fabrics from discontinued stock and eventually moving towards furnishing fabrics. After 30 years she passed the company onto her son, who owns it to this day. 

Owning and renting out the shop space of Gallery 35 for a number of years, Shirley decided it was time to run something for herself again, and having always been interested in art, Gallery 35 was born! 

Shirley’s creativity continues to be very important to her, being an avid painter and seamstress, in fact you can see some of her paintings in the gallery. If you get a chance, do ask her about her paintings as she has special anecdotes for each one!
