David Grosvenor (b. 1956)

Born in 1956 in Essex, Grosvenor moved to North Wales in 1991 to dedicate his time to painting full-time. He enjoys painting in both watercolour and oil - depicting a wide range of subject matter including the stunning scenery of Snowdonia and colourful still life and garden scenes. Despite his prolific work rate, Grosvenor manages to make each one an individual with its own particular magic. This sheer profusion of images is in itself a tribute to the landscape which changes dramatically from day to day, minute to minute. His paintings are in collections world-wide, including The House of Lords Collection, Palace of Westminster.

In his own words, Grosvenor describes his work: “Drawing and painting have always been a part of my life and I get enormous pleasure and fulfilment from manipulating pencil and paint on paper and canvas. Whilst form is important to me, it is colour which sets my heart alight and I can well understand those who argue that colour therapy has the power to heal, calm or excite.”

‘Y Garn,

8” x 8” - Oil on Panel - Signed,

Born in 1941, Roberts was raised in the Mynydd Bodafon area of Anglesey - where he lived until the age of 21 when he moved to Croydon. He began teaching art and studied part time at Croydon Art College. In 1974 he then returned to Anglesey to work in Local Government and Education and although he was not exhibiting for many years he continued to paint, donating work, illustraiting and designing posters for national charities. In 1996 he finally retired to devote his time to painting - his true passion!

His interest in painting and drawing was always an integral part of his life. The viewer gets a true sense of the real appreciation he had for his surroundings within his home country. Although seemingly simple, the rugged cliffs and atmospheric cottage views evoke a real sense of Wales’ climate.
