BIOGRAPHY Having studied with the late Peter Prendergast at Gwynedd Technical College, and Terry Setch at the Cardiff Institute of Higher Education, I graduated and  became a full time artist in 1992.  I work from my  studio in Groeslon, Caernarfon. My mixed media work depicts my roots, memories, upbringing and all that is Welsh, which I’m incredibly proud and passionate about.  The dioramas I create are made from papier-mâché, vinted fabrics, old photographs and upcycled items which bring my sculpturesRead More→

BIOGRAPHY I’m a self taught artist working in a variety of mediums. I fell in love with Wales as a child on family holidays, often staying in a static caravan in Barmouth. As a result, I like to embrace the spirit of curiosity and wonder when travelling around the country painting. My practice is to always paint from feeling to reflect the Welsh landscape, buildings and people. I have exhibited with Wales Contemporary (award winner), Royal Cambrian Academy of ArtRead More→

BIOGRAPHY I am a self taught painter of plein air tradition; I endeavour to use pure transparent watercolour to record the inherent and latent beauty witnessed in our natural and manmade environments. In my oil paintings, I strive for a direct approach on textured boards with as little layering as possible. As with the watercolours, painting outdoors in front of the subject is the central part of the creative process.  I love the natural world; we despoil and disregard itRead More→

BIOGRAPHY I have been painting watercolours, acrylics and oils, for many years. A few years ago I decided to experiment with different mediums, and started using Welsh wool to make needle felted pictures. The landscapes of Wales are a constant inspiration for my work, and using wool is like using a part of the landscape to create a picture.

BIOGRAPHY I am a self-taught lifelong enthusiast and student of creative pursuits. When I discovered acrylic pouring in recent years, I felt a real chemistry (!). Forgive the pun, but it’s because acrylic pouring is a bit like both chemistry and cooking, in how the recipe, preparation and pour technique (and even the temperature) dramatically impact on the result. I’ll be honest, I once had to re-take a chemistry class, so I wonder what my lecturer would have thought aboutRead More→

BIOGRAPHY Originally from Bridgend, I now live in the coastal village of Aberporth, West Wales and work from my studio in nearby Cardigan. I’m continuously fascinated by the interplay of colours and how they combine and interact with one another.  Painting allows me to play and explore relationships between colours and as a result, I (hopefully) create visually appealing pieces. When I begin a painting, the initial foundation of acrylic colours are applied spontaneously and I try not to focusRead More→

BIOGRAPHY I am an artist from Machynlleth who makes prints using Collagraph and Linocut. This series is based on the landscape around my home in the Dovey Valley. The work derives from my appreciation of the rural way of life, traditions, the Welsh language, Welsh culture and the beauty of the surrounding landscape which is an integral part of my life.

BIOGRAPHY Buildings have always been at the heart of my drawing and paintings. I work directly from the environment, often revisiting places many times in ever changing weather and seasons. Changing my palette with mood and nature, from the black and brown hues of winter to the yellows and ochre of autumn. More so the bright and fresh greens, yellows and clear blue skies of springtime have special appeal in my working year. My paintings have been inspired by immediateRead More→

BIOGRAPHY I am a Welsh artist, born in Cardiff. I spent my childhood in the village of Gwaelod y Garth where I acquired my love for the mountains. I trained in London and worked as a carver and gilder for many years, in both London and North Wales, mainly in the restoration of gilt mirrors and furniture. I returned to painting in 2000 and became a member of the North Wales Society of Fine Art in 2010 of which IRead More→
