Ammanford-based artist Sonia Williams is currently the subject of a solo exhibition.

Williams’ diverse, whimsical and colourfully vibrant work can be seen in the Oriel Bevan Jones Gallery at Arts Care Gofal Celf at Carmarthen’s 24 King Street until Saturday November 8.

Inspired by Wales and the landscapes around her, Williams exploits her love of colour in a variety of mediums

“I take my inspiration from the world around me, my garden, Welsh landscapes and my family,” she said.

“I enjoy emulating my love of surfaces in paint, textiles and other mediums.

“I am experimental in my approach and relish ‘playing’.”

Having always enjoyed handling fabrics as a child, Williams went on to use clay, paint and constructions while studying for a BA (ED) in ACD at Trinity.

Oriel Bevan Jones Gallery is named after one of the founder members of Arts Care Gofal Celf, the late Dr Huw Bevan Jones, and was founded following the charity’s move to King Street at the end of last year.

The opening of the gallery marked the first time that the organisation had been able to boast a presence on the High Street in its 28-year history.

The gallery is open from Tuesday to Saturday, exhibiting a range of high-quality work from professional, self-employed artists who are on the organisations’ artists register, and displays a wide-range of artwork from jewellery to paintings and ceramics to prints. Much of the work is available for sale.

“The Gallery means that we have a public face for the visual arts, and enables us to support some of the professional artists who are on our register” said gallery manager Eiryl George.

“The 30% commission taken from all sales at the gallery go directly back into the charity to secure additional art sessions and projects with the individuals and groups we work with - this really is a win-win situation.”

Arts Care Gofal Celf is a professional arts organisation delivering high-quality arts projects with people of all ages, backgrounds and lifestyles.

The charity has a unique register of over 150 professional self-employed artists encompassing a wide-range of forms including fine arts to performance arts and visual arts.

It has particular expertise in using arts to address the wider social, economic, health and wellbeing issues by engaging with hard-to-reach individuals, including those with mental and physical health problems, people with disabilities and others.
