EXHIBITION
Andrew Douglas-Forbes, Lindy Martin and Sallie Wakley
Saturday May 17th
ANDREW DOUGLAS-FORBES
Andrew Douglas-Forbes started painting from a very early age , so much so that apparently Andrew wouldn't write 'Apple' but instead drew one! He was extremely fortunate to be taught privately by Gordon Stuart, the eminent Canadian/Welsh painter. The philosophy and handling of paint was emphasised by Stuart over the 'how to' approach. Andrew attended Swansea Art College to expand his artistic knowledge. His unique approach to creating an artwork is to lay down initial abstract mark making and develop forms that 'emerge' into a finished piece. Andrew lived in Tuscany for a time, singing opera professionally, before eventually moving back to Wales to focus on his painting. Andrew has work in the collection at the Glynn Vivian gallery, Carmarthen county and many private collections worldwide. His work is exhibited worldwide, from New York to San Francisco, Olympia and the UK. Apart from painting, Andrew's other loves are singing opera and antiques. He lives and works from the hilltop town of Llandeilo.

SALLIE WAKLEY
Sallie Wakley was born in Surrey in 1967 but grew up in the West Country. In 1986 she moved to Wales to study Wildlife Illustration followed by two years of Ceramics, by which time Sallie had fallen in love with the wild Welsh hills.
In 2002 Sallie bought a little cottage on a wooded hillside in Carmarthenshire, which she shares with her four rescue dogs, seven cats and a dozen chickens. It’s here that she has built her studio that looks out over the garden.
Sallie’s work comes from her lifelong passion for animals and nature. Each piece is as individual as the animals she portrays, starting with the clay and glazes that she makes from her own recipes. Sallie creates a whole range of animals, although she regularly returns to her favourites, the fox and the hare.
Sallie’s work has been shown in Europe and America, but she now concentrates on pieces for galleries and private commissions.

LINDY MARTIN
Lindy Martin grew up on the west coast of Wales listening to and watching the waves crashing onto the pebbles. Playing on the beach with those pebbles, finding washed up objects and creating scenes and toys. Over the years Lindy changed career and studied ceramics and now, having recently moved back to Aberystwyth, she finds herself back on the beach marvelling at the shapes and textures that the elements form from the natural materials of this world. These materials washing up on the shore alongside the ever increasing amount of man-made detritus. Lindy’s work aims to question our excessive consumerism, as well as draw attention to skills and crafts that are starting to disappear.
Lindy’s work is always handmade and does not hide the marks which show how it was made. The material is not disguised either, letting the clay have a say in its form and texture. Her work will often include mud and crushed rocks from the places she visits to add to the clay or for use in surface decoration, with an aim to make unique pieces that reflect the landscape.
