Originally trained as a Fashion Designer at Stafford College of Art and Design , my work is heavily influenced with skills employed in fashion illustration.

Rosie's inspiration is drawn from the lush valleys and mountainous landscapes that surround her.

In the summer of 2010, she decided to open her studio to the public on the second Saturday in the month , it has proved to be very sucessful and a great help in preparing her to be able to take part in the Helfa Gelf North Wales art trail.

Rosie is a member of the Inside Out Group of artists and the Helfa Gelf. She exhibits her work in local galleries and also holds a weekly art class in her studio for local amateur enthusiasts .

Rosie has a permanent exhibition of her work in the Hand at Llanarmon and in her studio.

Jonathan Brier 21.9.2012 Helfa Gelf (9 of 16)

I found Jonathan's work to be inspirational, life-like and almost 3D in appearance.

Jonathan is a Yorkshire born artist who now resides in Wrexham, North Wales, where he gained his degree in illustration. This gave him the foundation to work on but he considers his painting technique as self taught. He works primarily in oils and like many artists finds constant inspiration from the figure.

In 2008 he undertook a project aided by the Arts Council of Wales. A Journey which took him around Wales absorbing the culture and being inspired by the characters` he met .

He continues to concentrate on the figure and portraiture always striving to improve and develop a better technique. In addition he has recently turned his attention to stll life as another means to aid growth as an artist.
