Birds in the Wood
John and Marilyn Davies carve and paint wooden birds in their workshop in Prestatyn. The interest began in America in the 1970s where the decoy tradition is well established. John began woodcarving in 1977 after a year in Michigan. During further year-long visits to Washington State and Utah they came into contact with carvers and began their own practice. John uses mainly hand tools to carve the birds, enjoying their shape in the hand. Marilyn employs a pyrography tool to burn the feather barbs and paints using thin acrylic washes which allow the texture to emerge. Driftwood bases are an essential component and John spends many hours combing the banks of the Clwyd and Conwy rivers to find the ideal pieces.
Their work has been exhibited in galleries throughout Wales and from the north of Scotland to the south of England.
Roman Nedopaka
I was born in Ukraine on the banks of the Danube River in a cozy, picturesque port city of Izmail, in a large and somewhat chaotic family of artists (1986). As a child, it seemed to me that dad draws so well just because his pencil is magic, that's the whole point. Take it, my father once said, handing me his pencil, try it. I made a few strokes trying to depict an old, sprawling walnut tree that grew under our window, the lines turned out to be timid, uncertain, but they opened the door to a wonderful world and carried me away along the road on which I am still a traveller …
Roman Nedopakа was born in 1986 in the city of Izmail in the Odessa region of Ukraine.
1997-2004 studied at the Taras Shevchenko Children's Art High School in Kyiv.
2004-2011 study at the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture in Kyiv since 2005 he has participated in group and personal exhibitions in Ukraine and abroad.
David Cowdry
David Cowdry is a self-taught artist from a beautiful town of Llandeilo in Carmarthenshire, Wales.
He is one of the most well-known Wales’ artists for creating incredible wildlife and landscape paintings. His inspiration comes from the natural world around him, the picturesque Towy valley, the wild & rugged coast of west Wales, the big skies of Norfolk and the places from his travels. The most striking feature of his work is the capture of light and the landscapes along with their inhabitants.
