EXHIBITION
NICOLLE MENEGALDO
AND
VERNON W JONES
Opening on Saturday 16th MAY
Nicolle Menegaldo
With Zimbabwe being Nicolle Menegaldo's place of birth, subsequently living in various countries, her visual perspectives have been greatly coloured. She is now a resident in Wales, in the town of New Castle Emlyn.
Fascinated by the power of cultural expression and femininity, Menegaldo captures the dress and emotive gazes of women, imbuing each with an appealing mystique, meanwhile transporting the beholder into another world. She identifies herself as an artist, photographer, and craftsperson; the distinctive qualities of her creations are loved by many.

Vernon W Jones
Vernon describes his work thus;
"My Art was leaning more towards an Illustrative and experimental approach following a HND in Design/Wildlife Illustration (1992 - 1994) until 2003 which is the year a Commercial Artist offered to tutor me in the Art of painting J Class Yachts.
For the two years while under his guidance I had struggled with the sea more than anything else, so I formed a plan in 2005 that I would focus solely on the sea and learn how to paint it. It was the open sea that I was interested in at first as this was part of the composition with the Yachts that I wanted to understand and get right. Over time I became interested in painting the shores and waves opening up the Seascape field further.
Experimenting with the sea and different ways to approach it allowed me to break away from the “tight” style that I was working with. It didn't mean that I had discarded the realistic approach entirely, it meant that I could also create more expressive works and integrate realism with expressionism. It gave me more range.
In 2019 I began learning how to paint “Alla Prima” so that I could paint outdoors in the main, but I had been curious about this technique anyway while also becoming interested in Landscape work.
Alongside my Seascape and Landscape work (still specializing in Seascapes) I enjoy painting other subjects (now and then) with oils, acrylics and mixed media. I enjoy the variety, and I feel that it’s good to keep my hand in.
I would never have dreamed I would become a Seascape Artist, it would not have come into my mind ever I think. I had no idea that I would become a Fine Artist. This is the beauty of life! Now that I am in this area of Art it is giving me so much enjoyment. When I am next to a wild sea for example, watching rocks being battered by big waves while a strong wind is blowing around me, I feel whole. Witnessing such beauty and power and to be in a position to capture it and transform that into paintings that others can enjoy is a gift that I am grateful for."
