Neil Sherring
Floren Fine Art Limited was started in 2003 by Neil and his close friend Daniel Bennett. At the time both were collectors of work by Sir William Russell Flint, a respected Scottish watercolour artist.
Dan introduced Neil to Sir William’s work in the year 2000. Both were intent on building up a collection and a friendly rivalry existed, as rare prints were secured from dealers and the pursuit of the ultimate collection began. MORE »
Dan Bennett
Having known Neil for many years, Dan was the catalyst for Floren Fine Art’s establishment. Dan introduced Neil to the work of Sir William Russell Flint, and the pair’s subsequent pursuit of the selling and buying of Flint’s work grew into Floren Fine Art.
Dan has had a love of art from a very young age, which he inherited from his father who was an avid collector of Lowry. His interest in art has thrived well into adulthood, and he has the best and most wide-ranging knowledge of art history of all the team at Floren. MORE »
