Pembrokeshire artist Sarah Jane Brown is welcoming visitors to her beautiful working art studio for an open studio event during the last weekend in June. The studio will be open to the public between the hours of 10.30 am to 5.30 pm on Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th June 2024. There will be an opportunity to buy original work together with prints and art gifts and have a look behind the scenes of a busy art studio.
Living and working in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, Sarah Jane draws widely on the breathtakingly wild beauty of her coastal surroundings to create emotionally charged and thought- provoking oil paintings.
“Walking every day in this dramatic environment with its rocky shores, high cliffs, big skies and unpredictable seas, can be a truly humbling experience,” says Sarah Jane. “It reminds me how nature can be both diminishing, showing you how small you are in such a vast landscape, whilst also uplifting and transformative.”
Based at Brawdy Business Park, just off the A487 between Penycwm and Solva, the studio is clearly signposted from the main road and easy to find. Free parking and toilets are available, and the studio is wheelchair friendly. The studio is open by appointment if you would like to visit at another time; call 01437 623123 to arrange.
Since graduating with a first-class honours degree in Fine Art Painting at the West Wales School of the Arts, Sarah Jane’s career as a professional artist has steadily gained momentum and recognition; her work is now collected internationally. In 2020 she was awarded full membership to the Guild Society of Artists, part of the Fine Art Trade Guild, and the right to use the GSA post- nominal letters. The award acknowledges the consistently high standard of her work, as well as her professionalism and business ethics.
Sarah Jane has exhibited across the UK and overseas, enjoying multiple solo shows. Recent events include exhibiting at the Royal Society of Marine Artists Exhibition and the ING Discerning Eye Exhibition at Mall Galleries, London, reaching the final of two art competitions, the Art Unlimited Open Art Competition and the Wales Contemporary International Art Competition, and featuring in Channel 4’s TV series ‘The UK’s National Parks with Caroline Quentin’. Represented by Etcetera Gallery in St Davids, Pembrokeshire, and Art Unlimited in Bridport, Dorset, Sarah Jane also runs painting workshops from her studio and has recently launched a series of online masterclasses.
