Sioned Glyn

"I am interested in all kinds of different art especially Celtic Calligraphy. I'm also interested in recording the names of places in Wales. I strongly believe that it's important for us to remember the original names of our towns, mountains and rivers in our country."

Janice Williams

Peter Hedd Williams

"All I seek through my art is, physically, with the use of brush, paint and canvas, to create a permanent, personal record of my feelings, my emotions and above all, my love for where I live."​

Meirion Jones

"My work is about people and the land.

And looking for patterns and forms in the geography is very appealing to me along with suggesting stories in the pictures of people. Although I exhibited my work across the border, I much prefer to connect on an artistic level with kindred spirits."​​​​

Joanna Jones

"Although I paint the occasional portrait, the landscape and the coast of Wales are the two main subjects in my artwork which takes place in the studio in Cardigan. As the years pass the style becomes freer and more experimental."​

Anna Pritchard

"I am a textile designer from North Wales. The inspiration comes from my environment, history and the farming industry. As a family we are one of the oldest families still operating in the agricultural world in the Dyffryn Ogwen area. My materials have been inspired by farming traditions and document that history and tradition."​

Aneurin Owen

Aneurin's work is inspired by the landscape around his home in Llansannan. This is the area of ​​his upbringing an area of ​​quiet agricultural hills that melt into the Hiraethog highlands. On the horizon is Eryri to the west and the light over the Hiraethog peatlands moves quickly and creates thrilling moments. Aneurin tries to capture these moments of light, often using a dark palette but with deep color in order to magnify the effect of the light areas in the landscape.

Stephen John Owen

Stephen has his own unique style of painting. His passion continues to evolve and develop and he is constantly looking for inspiration from his surroundings.​

 

He captures the special character of the villages, farms and old quarrymen's cottages that have surrounded him throughout his life simply and sincerely. He invests these familiar scenes with dignity and humanity.

Huw Gwynne

"I enjoy being out walking the mountains of Eryri or the tranquility of the beaches in the area and I will always be with my camera or phone out to take pictures as inspiration for my art. Although a full-time artist I spend my spare time drawing, painting seascapes and local landscapes."​​
