Artists
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→
BIOGRAPHY I originally trained as a graphic designer and for the past 17 or so years I have worked as a secondary school art and design teacher. During this time I have always had an urge to create, splitting my spare time between producing artwork and writing and performing music in various bands. When painting I work mainly in mixed media and focus on Welsh landscapes and seascapes. I’ve always been drawn to the Welsh coast and open spaces, spendingRead More→
BIOGRAPHY Creating art that evokes that sense of place. I have always been awed by the wonders of the natural world, and it is the expression of this wonder that inspires me. I walk in our beautiful Carmarthenshire landscape most days, and even on repeated routes, it’s never the same twice. Mother Nature provides incredible inspiration every day. How is it, that something as simple as the unfurling of a leaf, the sunlight filtering through seawater, or the wind scuddingRead More→
BIOGRAPHY I’m driven by a deep love of the landscape here in Gwynedd and a real need to record its many moods and climactic changes. I love trying to capture the sun on a newly cut hayfield, the skeletal trees of winter, or the olive greens of a turbulent sea. I sketch outdoors in all weathers and seasons, making careful notes of any nuance that a simple drawing may not have captured, before transposing them onto canvas. Working outside reminds me I’mRead More→
BIOGRAPHY I was born in Aberystwyth and live in the nearby small hamlet of Cefnllwyd. I learned the fundamentals of my clay work in evening classes at the Aberystwyth Arts Centre. Then, I set about turning a hobby into a business. Essentially a self-taught sculptor, this has helped me learn about the processes and quality of my work in a very individual way. My work is produced in a small garden studio at my home in Bontgoch in the foothillsRead More→

I am primarily a Printmaker but use several different techniques in my work including charcoal drawing, oil painting and mixed media.

I love producing the work, and am always pleased whenRead More→

I aim to express honestly the thoughts and feeling of the sitter, concentrating on composition, draughtsmanship, close observation and subtle use of colour.
