Love Blooms Eternal 16

Purist Gallery opened its large, handmade copper door on October 5, 2002 in Yallingup Western Australia. The gallery closed in April 2012. Penny & Max sold the gallery & moved back to Perth. Purist Gallery is now virtual. Purchases are made through galleries around Australia.

Designed & built by Max Ball (architect, jeweller, sculptor) the 36 x 9m retro building housed the gallery, two studios & the home of Penny Hudson (artist) & her husband Max Ball & Polly the poodle.

For 10 years they operated the gallery selling Penny’s paintings, Max’s jewellery & sculpture. Set on 3 acres of natural bush just a few minutes from the famous Yallingup surf beach, the gallery was a creative haven away from the bustle of nearby Dunsborough.
