‘Flora and Fauna’
2nd July - 26th October
This exhibition is being held in the main gallery and celebrates the whimsical flora and fauna of the North Wales landscape.
Meic Watts’ impressive stone carvings (the largest pieces he has exhibited for a while) stand proud as you enter the space. The pieces carved from local Welsh slates are evocative and deeply moving. ‘Creyr Glas (Heron)’ and ‘Lleu Llaw Gyffes’ are not to be missed!
Rachel Porter paints en plein air from her garden on the Llyn Peninsula and the watercolours she is displaying here capture the intricacy and delicacy of the wild flowers, plants and insects of spring and summer in North Wales. It takes a while to get your eye in, but once you do, a whole world emerges.
By contrast, the ‘simplified’ landscapes of rolling hills and woodland paths are picked out in vibrant colours in the linocut prints of prolific printmaker, Jenny Ford aRCA. Memories of special places and walking in the landscape absorbing colours, marks and patterns in the fields all make their way into the finished images.
Please note the house and gardens are closed until our Winter Exhibition.
