A photographer working on a diverse selection of “Fine Art Composites” from, Surreal, Medieval , Renaissance, Equine and Gothic fantasy art. A selection of affordable limited edition art for sale at Raymonds’ private Gallery / Studio. Looking forward to meeting you, all visitors are very welcome.

I have a passion for colour and texture, and produce work which reflects this. My hope is that it conveys the optimism and joy I feel for what the world has to offer, and lifts the spirits in the same way as when I am painting.

Open throughout the year by prior appointment.

I love the intense colour and richness of oil paint, applying the paint thickly and undiluted often mixing direct on the canvas. I aim to capture the physical reality of nature.its texture, colour and the play of light. My subject matter is Anglesey.

Open all year around by prior appointment.

Veronica Knowles is a very private artist, her subject matter is almost entirely her own garden, family, friends and domestic animals. Although by choice she exhibits rarely, she has works in both private and public collections.

I create collage and assemblage art as little collections or scenes composed in shadow boxes.

I like to re-imagine a new meaning for ordinary and extraordinary objects.
My background is in Illustration, and I collect unlikely objects to create shrine like pictures/collages which have their own story or poem.

I now have a studio on Anglesey.

Illustrator and book designer, before leaving to go and work in India for several years.

Iwan Lewis, recent graduate from Royal College of Art. My vernacular is challenged by a need to question its origin, from understanding painting through Speilberg’s ET to conversing with Henri Rousseau through a fish tank.

Whilst continuing with my passion for print, in the summer I enjoy creating large canvasses with oils. Both larger works and prints will be on show during Open Studios, as well as recent collage portraits.

I am constantly inspired by the natural environment finding the beauty in the simplest of forms to the most dramatic of landscapes. I love experimenting with various mediums to express texture, colour, mood and atmosphere be it in paintings, photography or craft pieces to interpret my surrounding environment.

My work consists of Sea and Landscapes local to Anglesey and North Wales. I work in watercolour and oils.

Open throughout the year by prior appointment.

My work has progressed in a circular fashion, I have rediscovered my painting roots and I am delivering fiqurative narrative paintings again. Of course this new work is informed by all my previous creative experience and I am enjoying producing work in this way. In these paintings daily life wanders into familiar landscapes and settings.
