PEMBROKESHIRE PAINTERS of The Best Artists Capturing This Magical Landscape & Coast
Pembrokeshire has long inspired all who live and visit here.
With its epic coastline and blue flag beaches as well as bountiful countryside, it’s no wonder it’s a haven for artists.
For our latest edition we’ve curated nine of the very best artists who capture this magical area in their
Elizabeth Haines has worked in the studio on her Pembrokeshire hill farm for over 50 years.
She originally trained as an illustrator, but has gradually evolved a more flexible and imaginative way of working, an oblique and poetic evocation of landscape and the natural world. Her paintings, often based on the landscape of Preseli, are characterised by rich colour and a sense of inner light.
Elizabeth’s work is in several public collections including the National Library of Wales, and she has a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Wales. She also runs workshops at her studio.

Get in touch with each artist direct to discuss purchasing their work. Be sure to follow their social media pages to see their latest work and for news on their upcoming exhibitions or events.
Kathy began painting seriously from the age of 15, copying German Expressionist paintings, before finding her own style. She trained in Art & Design and Education and first came to Pembrokeshire in 1978 to visit the Graham Sutherland collection at Picton Castle. She fell in love with the landscape of the St. David’s peninsula and returned for many holidays.
She came to live in North Pembrokeshire in 2017 and her studio looks out on the Preseli Hills. Kathy works mainly in oils in a semi-abstract style, inspired by estuary, mountain, and coast. She is a committee member for North Pembrokeshire Open Studios.

Charlotte’s paintings express a love of colour and capture the magic in the landscape. Living close to the sea on the Stackpole Estate, she creates atmospheric and joyful paintings exploring the sea, land and sunlight. She also creates large scale sand drawings on local beaches.

I have Lived in Wales for over 40 years and love the colour and light! I use paint as a way to express how I feel!
I am now painting my way through grief after losing my husband and my mother within 6 months! I have always found painting theraputic and since last August 2022, I have been filming myself paint & post every day on social media! Since then I have painted over 120 oil paintings, so I really feel it has helped me survive. I feel so lucky to live in such an amazing part of the world.

Peter Morgan is particularly well known for his colourful palette. Working mainly with a pallet knife, he applies the acrylic paint to the canvas mixing to achieve an impasto texture.
Painting buildings within the landscape has always been at the heart of his paintings. He works directly from the countryside, often revisiting places in all weathers and seasons.
“My work has become a direct response to the ever-changing light, often changing with the weather. Changing my palette with mood and nature from the black and brown hues of winter to the yellows and ochre of autumn”

Pembrokeshire born contemporary painter Delyth Williams works out of her studio in Newport, Pembrokeshire and opens her home up once a year for the ‘North Pembrokeshire Open Studios’ as well as creative collaborations and exhibitions across the UK.
Growing up on the Pembrokeshire coastline, it's no surprise that the sea's influence can be felt in every brushstroke, line and colour choice.
Delyth manages to capture the raw emotion of the sea and sky, translating it into a visual play of abstract shapes and vibrant colours. Experimenting with colour palettes, transparencies and opacities and varying ways of applying paint to create something new and unexpected.

Of all the current Pembrokeshire artists, Jill Jones FRSA, is certainly one to watch and invest in! Painting from her National Park-based studio, which also stocks a range of originals and prints available to buy off the wall, she captures the magic of west Wales beautifully and dramatically in either oils or acrylics.
Jill supplies galleries across Wales and also in England, and also sells many originals online via her own web site, www.jilljones.co.uk
Her love of Wales is evident in her work, which features glorious huge skies, gentle moonlit scenes and wild images of the unspoilt Welsh countryside. The growing popularity of Jill’s work can be seen on her website, by the significant number of ‘sold’ works shown, and by the number of collectors who return to the various galleries Jill is featured in to purchase further pieces.

Working in, with and from elements in the landscape my work echoes the colours, light and forms of the natural world with an emphasis on movement, mood and transience. Using paint, ink or clay, my process is largely intuitive. Serendipity plays a part, but observations in the landscape and more conscious decisions as to what is added and what remains are essential to the final image or object. The aim is to engage the viewer in a moment of quiet distraction, pleasure or recollection.
With a current exhibition at Oriel Q Narberth, work can also be found at The Gallery Yr Oriel Newport Pembs and The Waterfront Gallery, Milford Haven.

Exhibiting at: Old Mayors Parlour h.Art Prize Exhibition, 23 Church Street, Hereford HR1 2LR
The textures and colours of collected stones, pebbles and rock formations inform my current work. Using traditional hand building techniques and a variety of clays I construct complementary ranges of tactile vessels whose surfaces reflect the smooth and the weatherworn. Experimental use of slips and glazes create finishes that range from highly polished to cracked and crazed. The unpredictability of smoke firing, obvara and horsehair raku are used for their ability to give subtle and unique markings.
Monochromatic colours unify the pieces into a cohesive collection.
“Stonecarving is in my blood. Having started stonecarving aged 14, I went on to study sculpture at degree level and then joined the Bristol Sculpture Shed in 1990.
After a number of productive years as a young sculptor, life diverted me onto a different course, but I am finally back where I belong, hammer and chisel in hand. Sculpting feels as natural as breathing to me, and is the best way I can converse with the world.
It's important to me that I can feel an emotional connection to the forms I create, and hope this connects with the viewer.”
Kim is a wood turner who’s philosophy is; ‘From the hands of the artist to the heart of the beholder’.
The simplicity of vessel forms created display the grain and natural colour of the woods being used. His creating is a response to the nature of the wood and is intuitive and emotional. His concern is with the form and surface, function becomes peripheral.
Kim’s work can be seen during H-Art 7th – 10th Sept at Leintwardine Church SY7 0LD and as part of the Artists’ Gallery at Bromfield SY8 2JR. His work can also be seen at Secret Severn at Footprint Gallery TF8 7AP 6th to 15th September.

Working in traditional wet felting techniques I make fabulous wearable accessories, embroidered felt pictures and 3D pieces. Using eco printing methods I create beautiful lampshades, cushions & homeware along with scarves and other smaller items.
I have always had an interest in sewing and craftwork and have an eye for putting colours together in my work. Inspiration comes from my lovely garden where I collect leaves and flowers for my eco printing work. I am a member of the Shropshire Guild of Contemporary Craft and exhibit at their events. I also run workshops for groups and give talks. Visits to the Studio are welcome, but please telephone first.

“Sammi is a self-taught, experimental, artist in residence, based in Mid Wales. Through her secretive experimentation, she combines colour, heat and her self formulated elixirs to create a process of colour application, in multiple layers, to a non porous surface. Sammi uses fire to encourage texture and to enable the deep depth of colour to develop. She then introduces precious metals to the surface of her artwork to complete her work. It’s a seemingly magical process of transformation and creation which through her experimentation, changes and transforms her materials in a mysterious and impressive way. Alchemy some might say…”

Emily works from the local wild landscapes of West Wales, making expressive landscape work in oil paint and mixed media. She makes regular walks with her sketchbook over familiar terrain, hoping to draw on all those cumulative experiences back in the studio. Here, using memory and sketches, she aims to condense something of a sensory summation of things seen and felt, to bring an emotional response through the paint.
Emily studied in Leeds and Madrid before completing her BA and then MA at Aberystwyth, where she set up studio professionally in 2005 and still lives, working from a studio in the woods.
