King Street Gallery, Carmarthen from May 2nd to May 31st.

The exhibition is called 'From Coalminers to Fantasy' and features a large 7'x 4' painting of Brynhenllys coalminers in Brynamman and a 6'x2' painting is of two miners from Ferndale Colliery in the Rhondda.

Sarah's other paintings consist of abstractly painted figures, and of paintings from her imagination, these often tell a story. For example, a painting called 'After School' shows young students hiding away in the woods to have a quiet drink and smoke, while through the trees are children playing in the school yard.

Another fantasy painting that can be seen in the Gallery at the moment is again large and is based on the theme of 'Easter' or 'Eostre' the pagan word for celebrating spring.

Sarah describes her inspiration behind her coalmining paintings:
My picture of Brynhenllys coalminers measures 7'4"x 4'2" is in oils on canvas, and was inspired on seeing a photograph, taken by an unknown photographer in 1882, of men, women and children sitting around a huge water wheel.

When Pembrokeshire ceramicist Adam Buick saw a Korean Moon Jar in the British Museum he was so inspired that he began making his own...and has made little else since.

Adam's Moon Jars will be on display as he works as the Artist in Residence at Oriel y Parc Gallery and Visitor Centre in St Davids, from Friday March 23rd until April 23rd.

Adam grew up in St Davids and turned to ceramics following his degree in Archaeology and Anthropology. After completing a Ceramics Design and Skills Course at The Crafts Council of Ireland, he set up a studio in St Davids. His Moon Jars are created using clay from the Pembrokeshire landscape.

Private View, Sat 24th March 2012 - 7 - 9pm

"Glyn now only stages one exhibition of new work each year at his gallery in North Wales, and over the last twelve months he has been increasingly shooting 'brooding' imagery of Snowdonia alongside more ethereal images from his home island of Anglesey. 

Looking at the millions of formulaic images perpetuated by magazines, share sites and photo workshops around the UK, I feel so many people are just 'doing landscape' - going through the process, ticking the boxes, following friends and emulating others, but very, very few seem to shoot images which convey any emotional relationship with their environment. Conversely, even without a camera, I tend to be in an almost drug induced state when I find solitude in the landscape, especially the mountains, and existential thoughts divorce me from almost everything to do with urbanity. When I do shoot images they tend to be taken during moments of elation or depression, joy or sadness, and I find my own emotional state heightens my connection with the land I stand on. I rarely shoot anything if the spirit isn't there, but can be fixed for an hour in one place when I feel the connection. The landscape is not a 'subject' for my camera, the camera is nothing more than a crude tool with which I try to create 2D images which convey a little 'something' of the 'spirit of place' which I experienced on my journey, and hopefully much more than just composition and nice tonality.
