About Gareth 
| |
Born in Pontypool, I studied fine art in Exeter and lived in Devon for 20 years before moving to East Anglia in 2003, where I now live and work.
Prior to leaving full-time employment to focus on painting I worked in conservation, preserving ceramics, wall-paintings, mosaics, plaster-work and timber in ancient and historic buildings such as the Palace of Westminster, Hampton Court, British Embassy Prague, Berkeley Castle and St. David’s and Winchester Cathedrals.
Having drawn and painted since a youngster, I love the challenge of finding and portraying subjects with textural and sculptural qualities.
As well as showing successfully in a range of galleries my works have sold to the UK, Canada, Europe and Asia
I was elected a Member to the Royal Society of Marine Artists (RSMA) in October 2016.
