Pembrokeshire born contemporary painter Delyth Williams works out of her small studio in Newport, Pembrokeshire and opens her home up once a year for the ‘North Pembrokeshire Open Studios’ as well as creative collaborations and exhibitions across the UK. 

"I'm drawn to painting Contemporary Seascapes because they allow me to capture the raw emotion of the sea and sky and translate it into a visual play of abstract shapes and vibrant colours.

I'm interested in how a sense of movement, response and passion can be expressed through painting, and I know it can be a source of wellbeing for those that feel its energy.

When I'm painting, I'm in a state of heightened sensitivity and emotional connection to the work I'm creating.

My hope is that people will come to my art with a sense of joy and happiness, and find something unique in every painting that resonates with them.

My work is all about the creative process - exploring the use of colour and the development of my emotional response to my environment from initial sketches on paper to large-scale canvas paintings.

My process currently begins with photos and videos in the sea and harnessing that connection with the elements through quick sketches and colour studies.

I'm passionate about working with my medium of acrylic paint, finding new ways to recreate what I initially felt.

Working on canvas with acrylic paint and drawing from my sketches, I combine geometry and colour to create bold works of art. For me, it's all about experimenting with colour palettes, layering colour, transparencies and opacities and varying ways of applying

 paint to create something new and unexpected. 

I continue to expand my creative practice, creating dynamic and vibrant artwork that engages the viewer with each new piece revealing something more about me too!"
