Not Quite the Middle Aisle of Lidl… Studio Visits in West Wales

People often ask if they can visit my studio.

The answer is yes.

After many years of running galleries and community spaces, I’ve come to treasure the quieter rhythm of painting and sharing work with people who genuinely enjoy art, stories and the odd bit of nostalgia.

My studio is in Maesllyn, West Wales and is where the work happens. It’s where Owd Lasses gather, sheep appear from nowhere and memories become paintings.

View by Appointment

Most weeks I welcome visitors by appointment.

If you’ve seen a painting online, are considering a commission, or simply fancy seeing the work in person, just get in touch.

There’s no pressure and no hard sell. Just time to enjoy the paintings properly, hear some of the stories behind them and perhaps discover something that belongs on your wall.

Studio Soirees

Several times a year I host small studio soirees.

Numbers are deliberately limited, so the experience remains more private view than middle aisle of Lidl. These relaxed gatherings give collectors and art lovers the chance to see new work, meet fellow enthusiasts and enjoy time surrounded by paintings and stories.

Open Days

I also hold several open days throughout the year when the studio doors are thrown open a little wider.

Details are shared through my newsletter and social media, and everyone is welcome to come along and have a browse.

A Place for Stories

People often ask where the Owd Lasses live before they head out into the world. The answer is here, tucked away in a quiet West Wales valley amongst unfinished canvases, muddy boots and more paintbrushes than any sensible person needs.

So, if you’d like to see the paintings in person, you’re very welcome.

Just give me a shout first, and we’ll make sure there’s time to put the kettle on and enjoy the work properly.
