Four friends sat in a sunshiny café in Winchester; Mitch, an IT man enjoyed carrots in a crazed rabbitty sort of way, Kath an office worker who wore a lot of orange and some green, Rich, an engineer and amateur veg chef par excellence and Ben, who always had a carrot for supper and was a dog.
 

They sat round crunching carrots dipped in guacamole and glugging carrot juice feeling disgruntled with their professions, except for Ben who was happy being a dog. The humans felt their true paths lay in sharing their enthusiasm for art & encouraging creativity. Ben felt his true path lay in chasing balls, swimming and eating as much as he could get away with. Looking down at the glowing feast before them they conceived of the Happy Carrot.

First of all they thought they could build a carrot-shaped rocket to guide them to the moon. Then they thought they could hollow out the inside of a massive prize carrot and have an art gallery inside. (Ben secretly thought this would be a tasty morsel for him and the carrot wouldn’t last long, but he hadn’t read “Hansel and Gretel”). They began their adventure searching and while they hunted for a big enough carrot they created happycarrot.co.uk, this virtual gallery of great home grown art...

But seriously now…

Happycarrot.co.uk was set-up to connect art lovers with talented up and coming UK artists. We produce high quality giclée prints of our artists' work (at no cost) which provides them with additional income on top of what they make selling their originals.

Our aim is to provide a clear uncluttered site promoting our artists' prints and providing buyers and browsers with a fun and friendly experience. We include a monthly art quiz with a prize and a kids gallery where children can upload their favourite pictures.
