Amanda Skipsey   3rd February 2010 - 23rd April 2010

Amanda is a popular self taught artist who revels in making Welsh towns her own. Each painting has something happening in every corner and are like stories bursting from her imagination. Amanda was born in Cheshire but realised her dream of living in Wales just over 13 years ago. With the beautiful Elan Valley as her base, Amanda's unique style of interpretation, which is very vivid and often tongue in cheek' has grown. 'As a child I always wanted to live in Wales - I'm now lucky enough to have my ideal job in my ideal location. There's something so special about Wales, I just see it in a different light...'

Anna has lived in Newtown for sixteen years. Previously she studied Art & Design at Southampton College and Chichester University. Anna is a prolific photographer, interested in all naturally occurring and manmade patterns on a small or large scale. She draws inspiration from her photographs and observations of the world around her. She particularly enjoys developing these themes, creating pictures using brightly coloured paper, glitter and sequins. She loves the way her pictures transform in different lighting conditions adding extra interest and sparkle
