To share...

GB Marine Art was formed to publish and market quality art reproductions from the paintings of Gordon Bauwens, one of Britain's leading contemporary marine artists. Our main aim is for fellow ship-lovers to share in the pleasure that this artist derives from his favourite maritime subjects. By offering these works as high quality, signed lithographic prints, the considerable amount of care and time invested in the paintings can be appreciated by many more enthusiasts than would be possible from marketing them as original paintings only. (For Originals and Commissions, please refer to Commissions page).
    In our Artist-signed and numbered Limited Editions, we offer exclusivity, collectability and excellent value for money. Our less expensive signed 'Open' Editions, while never compromising quality, ensure these popular subjects will be available for longer than the Limited Editions. As the proud owner of any GB Marine Art reproduction, you benefit from many weeks of research and painting of that particular subject, plus a lifetime of skill development, personal experience and passion for such vessels. By his meticulous attention to detail and genuine feel for the ships he portrays, Gordon Bauwens has earned international recognition as one whose labour is of both hand and heart.

...and to serve

Being a family business enables GB Marine Art to provide a personal and dependable service for our customers. We are greatly encouraged to regularly receive communications expressing appreciation for our products and service. Our records also show that a considerable proportion of our orders are from previous customers, or by their personal recommendation.
    We invite you to join the many delighted marine art enthusiasts around the world who know that GB Marine Art's quality reproductions rate among the best.

• I take pleasure in writing to let you know that I received the Welcome Home QE2 limited edition print. To say I am thrilled with it would be an understatement.

• You really are to be congratulated on your portrayal of No 534 - it truly is a magnificent piece of work. I intend to have Queen Mary framed in the same style as Home Waters and the two will look superb together.
