Time for mine...

In the quieter moments at the gallery, I've been blessed with a certain amount of my own quality time to do my own work and a certain amount of creative inspiration! I've done a number of different pieces, these two stallions are just a few examples of some sketch ideas I have been doing, all ideas to work up to a final finished piece.

As ever I've been making a few new experimental jewelry pieces as well as greetings cards and some model making also, no quiet moment is left without taking full advantage of its potential to become a time to be creative! 

As probably all artists have, my head is full of ideas, and all I need is the time, opportunity and resources to make them a reality.

I'm currently exploring the route of photography also, using themes important to me from my childhood, specifically church, not that I my self can say that I am particularly religious, but my mother is an active part of the life of St. Anne's church Tal Y Garn, and the memories I have from growing up with this as a constant in my life have a poetry I      

thought it time to explore, so as in my previous post... Wish me luck! 

Any one interested in the Horses, they are currently on display at the gallery with my other work, and finer finished pieces are in the process of coming into existence, please feel free to enquire with me personally about anything at all.

It's been a while!

Hey all!

It's been waaay too long, which can hopefully only mean one thing... the gallery is becoming a roaring success! and no truer words were spoken.

Slowly but surely we are getting there on the map. Our final signs have all gone up and were well worth it, more people are finding us now, even I'm excited to say, tourists from out of the area, as far a field as Essex and Northumberland! With no family in the area, they have just discovered us themselves under their own steam, so the signs are definitely working and there is now no excuses for anyone who just doesn't know where we are!

A few changes have been made to the gallery now. Many new paintings and artists have joined us, and we have sold an impressive number of those that have been with us from the start. We have a new range of treen turned wood as well as patriotic based items such as wood carved and stone wear welsh dragons and love spoons.

We are also getting into the swing for christmas early as retail is where christmas happens first i hear. So more stock is always coming in, from stocking filler goodies, to blow out once in a lifetime gifts. We'll have it all.

August has been a phenomenal month and we look forward to the last run of the year but keep our fingers crossed for good weather as it only dampens spirits as well as everything else when its constantly raining!

Classes have been a huge success over the summer with a number of workshops and art club for kids. The resident Thursday group are going from strength to strength, trying new things and settling in to the areas they are good at. We have a new saturday art group now and I have the same aspirations for these determined individuals also, wish us luck!
