Eleri Mills

“study nature, love nature, stay close to nature, it will never fail you”

Frank Lloyd Wright


Eleri Mills

“The theme for this exhibition was conceived when the world came to a standstill – a time of deep reflection and revaluation. A moment when our relationship with the natural world took on a new significance – demonstrated by our innate need to be close to nature and to be healed by nature …. our wellbeing restored.

All the artists selected for this exhibition demonstrate an affnity with the natural world and create in the spirit of nature – responding to the landscape and celebrating beauty, function and the integrity of natural materials in our everyday lives and in the everyday things that surround us.”

Eleri Mills September 2021


Eleri Mills

Eleri Mills is one of Wales’ most distinctive artists, she has a deep understanding of landscape.
Layers of history, husbandry, mythology and place are worked into her pieces through gestural mark making, using paint, ink, charcoal and hand
stitching often on paper and sometimes cloth. Eleri has exhibited with the Thackeray Gallery in London and Ruthin Craft Centre for many years, alongside other international exhibitions, and more recently with Twenty Twenty Gallery.

        ‘In the Fields I’  (‘Yn y caeau I’) Gesso, paint and ink on khadi paper. 58 x 77cm
‘Bardic Landscape – fortification II’ (‘Tirlun Bardol – amddiffynfa II’. Ink on paper 22 x 61cm

David Inshaw

‘Vale of Pewsey’ Oil on canvas. 51 x 51cm David Inshaw

“ I have admired David Inshaw’s depiction of landscape since the 1970s. While he creates his own distinct world it is still clearly rooted in the English landscape.There is a melancholy and a strange nostalgia reminiscent of Thomas Hardy and Samuel Palmer – often dreamscapes, rich in narrative and storytelling.” E.M


Astrid de Groot

“These eating vessels made of wood speak a glorious universal language, a language of sharing, collaboration and love. They represent to me the family conversations of all time centred around the sharing of food and taking care of the young and the old.” E.M

Melin Tregwynt

‘Gorse’ Vintage Star Throw. Woven 100% pure new wool.

“As the daughter of a hill farmer I have always had a special relationship with wool. These blankets represent an ancient tradition which are timeless in their beauty, with skills, knowledge and patterns passed down through the generations. Nature providing warmth and comfort.” E.M


Alexander de Vol

“ Such elegance and such a feel for the material allowing the unseasoned wood to morph into new organic shapes. They take on a balletic character on their spinning feet….almost like characters from the Ballets Russes….I can hear Stravinsky.
So adventurous and expressive…” E.M

‘Discovery’ Elm wood, iron acetate, sumi ink, lacquered and waxed. 45 x 40cm

Mandy Coates

Medium platter. Yew lath and Flanders Red Willow. 44 x 7cm

“A celebration of craftsmanship using rural traditions and rooted in the British landscape. Willow grown, harvested and woven into baskets with plaited rush and wood lath …. such beautiful natural objects to touch and to have near.” E.M


Adam Buick

“There is an integrity and depth to the work. It is so clearly of the land with locally dug clay using the pure form of the jar over and over as a canvas to represent a landscape. This landscape and the wild seascape of Pembroke and the Preseli Hills speak an old old language ….it is where Stonehenge originated …the work is full of ancient wisdom.” E.M

‘Tidal’ Jar cm
