Thank you for joining, Helen

This was a labour of absolute love - choosing 30 paintings from the last 25 years to represent what Pembrokeshire has meant to me over the years - nature's lessons, catholic retreats, friends and family holidays, beautiful fresh food, history, geology, art, snad castles, beach days, long distance walks, solitude, wild winter nights, book writing, women bishops, sadness and frienships. All rolled into my stories, all rolled into these paintings.

- and what a blooming lovely team at the St Davids Visitor Centre - Diolch y Galon x

What a day ☀️
So so pleased to be back home in my lovely cool north facing studio after delivering paintings to St Davids for a solo show at Oriel y Parc Gallery.
Delighted to visit @dead.seacollective shop at St Ds and browse the vinyl - what a gorgeous venture. So cool 🧊🧊

on my way back, it was great to touch base with Isabel @elementsnewport and restock her cards and discuss showing some paintings with her at the nationional Eisteddfod coming to Aberteifi in August.

What a treat it’s been to meet such lovely humans today - including the young chap who dinted my van - no worries - we’ll sort it.

Something magical happens when we stop trying to get it right.

What if life is more magical, more responsive, more alive than we've been led to believe?

And what if painting is one of the ways back into that conversation?

Final days of preparation for a solo show at the Saint David’s visitor centre. The show starts on Friday 26th and continues until August 2nd.

The exhibition is in a round room and features paintings that take you on a journey around Pembrokeshire from Saundersfoot to Poppit Sands.

I’m really excited to see all these paintings together which are from the last 25 years. It’s gonna be a real emotional experience for me, reconnecting with all these places and the memories that the paintings hold. I’m very much looking forward to it.

I’ll post up a video when it’s installed. I hope you enjoy it too.

All of the paintings that are featured are available via the website as print so if there’s one that you like, you know where to look and of course you can always message me.

🌟 This week's inspiration 🌟

ART & LIFE.
COFFEE & CAKE.
MAKING & MENDING.

1. Thought of the week @Equisgarcia - "Dharma Art is the quality of presence a maker brings to their work...." named what I felt when painting and gives a framework for thinking and talking about my work.

2. Matisse. Inspiring me to know when to stop. Not every inch of every painting needs detail. Empty space allows the detailed areas to shine.

3. Seeing my work hanging in the fabulous @yr_hen_printworks

4. Mending. @asolo.official - these boots are my absolute favourites, at least 12 years old and bald on the bottom. I am overjoyed that they are now in Italy, at the manufacturers who offer a resoling service. Can't wait to have them back.

5. Delish coffee in a plant based no plastic cup the made me smile from @bocsdu

6. Birthday pressie from me to me. Just what I wanted, thank you! @edenashramofficial

7. Happy surprise. When a framed print looks even better than the original.

'Aberporth to the beach'
What can I say? Where have those last 30 years gone?
When I started painting in the style I'm known for, it was with Sennelier Oil Pastels. I loved their soft lipstick-like creaminess and the way they allowed me to follow the idea of 'colouring in' that fascinated and continues to fascinate me.
Anyone remember Aberporth from the 80s/90s?
I'm currently updating my website and including some of my favourites from the last 30 years that haven't been seen for a while.
See the prints, from £39 on my website.

How to Art by Kate Bryan.

I love this book especially for the art curious, or people like me who always felt excluded from the art world because I perceived it as something special, impenetrable and reserved for an elite.

Art isn’t something you need to “get right” or be qualified for — it’s something you feel, explore, and make part of your everyday life. Trust your instincts, stay curious, and let art be personal, not intimidating.

This is where it all begins. Where I sketch ideas from walks, mix colours and slowly build up layers of colour through printing.

At the moment, I'm in between shows, so there are plenty of new paintings to see, as well as a good selection of framed and unframed prints.
