Sarah Moncrieff paints bold and vivid cityscapes and landscapes. Her cityscapes depict our industrial heritage, capturing the reality of the urban and industrial wastelands that make up our environment. She enjoys the challenge of making something visually appealing and exciting from the bland and ugly areas of a city. For this exhibition, she has worked on a series of paintings of iconic bridges, over the Barmouth estuary, Lake Vyrnwy and bridges that cross the A34. www.sarahmoncrieffpaintings.co.uk
Michael Firth's oil paintings are inspired by nature and capture the light and serenity of local woodland scenes and the energy and movement of the waterfalls and landscapes of Wales. His techniques employ both the palette knife and brush to convey his feelings towards these scenes.
