Jane Morrow (Main Gallery)We are approaching the last few weeks of our ‘Gaia’ Exhibition in the main gallery, so it’s your last chance to view/purchase the work of Jane Morrow. This latest collection of Jane’s work, explores the notions of Gaia and Mother Nature and how she responds to them as an artist. All the paintings on display are of views that inspire her on daily walks and journeys around North Wales from Anglesey to Snowdonia and her beloved home town of Denbigh. “I am fortunate to live and work in such a beautiful part of the world. I am often inspired by fleeting, natural moments and details such as a passing cloud or a beam of light illuminating the hillside or trunk of a tree. The sea, sky, trees, hills, dwellings and animals, that I observe and paint, endeavour to give a sense of place and connection to the Earth and in particular Wales and remind us of how precious these landscapes are within the natural world and how fundamental they are to our human experience as caretakers and inhabitants of it. I hope to express this passion and emotion through my work by creating evocative and atmospheric pieces that give the viewer the chance to pause, take a breath and to remember that we are all connected somehow.” Along with nature, the love of art history, poetry and literature consistently inform her work. Especially that of Constable, Turner and the French Impressionists as well as writers such as Dylan Thomas and the Brontë sisters. Jane has exhibited both in solo and mixed exhibitions. Her work is collected both in the uk and internationally. On display until Feb 23rd
