Mel Wilmott
This exhibition contains the beautiful artwork created by members of Mel Wilmott‘s weekly art groups which meet on Mondays in Fishguard and Dinas.
The range and variety of activities are reflected in the pieces of work that individual members have selected to put into the exhibition.
The three groups consist of artists at different levels of confidence and experience. Some have been taking part in art classes and workshops for many years, others are new to art or at least to the range of media included in the activities. What they have in common is a desire to express their creativity and to simply have fun.
The atmosphere in the classes is one of mutual support and a willingness to learn from each other’s practice and skills. The friendly and open nature of the groups are clearly demonstrated by the range of styles and media included in the works of the exhibition. Many of the artists have not previously exhibited their work in public and had to be persuaded to take the plunge. Their reticence is unjustified, there are so many examples of beautiful use of colour and technique.
The whole exhibition reflects the philosophy that there is an artist in all of us… if we are given the opportunity to shine.
Mel Wilmott is a member of Fishguard Arts Society and was tutored by the late John Cleal. Her enthusiastic approach is the inspiration behind many of pieces of work the exhibition reflects.
Many of the works are for sale and by purchasing you are also supporting Theatr Gwaun as artists donate 25% of the value of sales to Theatr Gwaun.
