D-Day Approaches!

What an exciting venture this is turning out to be! This has something that has always been on my mind to do and I'm finally going to achieve it. Over the past 6 months, I've been beavering away producing over 40 painting and drawings of scenes in and around my home village of Taff's Well and Gwaelod y Garth and they will all be on display for sale at Fagins Ale & Art House from 6^th -20^th April. Can't quite believe the interest it's created and it means I'm going to meet so many people I haven't seen for so many years. There's also excitement for some of the schoolchildren from the Fynnon Taf Primary School and Gwaelod y Garth Primary School as I’ve been working on a project with them which will see their artwork also on display at the exhibition.

The two-week event will be a busy and varied one starting with an invitation preview evening on the Friday 5^th which will be opened by the celebrated international musician, composer, arranger and former harpist to HRH The Prince of Wales - Catrin Finch, followed by the public opening by Pontypridd MP Owen Smith at 2.00pm on Saturday 6^th. There will also be very informal ‘Meet the Artist’ evenings where I will be happy to take questions or discuss anything you want to discuss – within reason! There will be music and networking events so keep your eyes peeled for social media news by signing up through my Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and newsletter channels – can't wait to see you all there!
