A close Encounter between Artists And Scientists

Art Works By The Williamson-Evans Family

GWENLLIAN’S JUGS

There are  77 images on total. I wanted to mark the way in which I have attempted to come to terms with the death of my dear friend and former colleague at Ceredigion Museum,  Gwenllian Ashley. She was seventy seven when she died.

Gwenllian was an avid collector of all sorts of interesting objects and was passionate about the beauty as well as the history of the things she gathered.  I worked with Gwenllian at the Ceredigion Museum for over twenty years, creating many displays and exhibitions. To describe Gwenllian as an instigator would be, for me, an understatement. She not only encouraged my artistic endeavours but managed to spread her enthusiasm and energy to many artists on Ceredigion and Wales. She also worked with Jen Jones at the Quilt Centre. She loved the old Welsh quilts.

YSGOLION : LADDERS

Print Collectors Club 2016

As Curator of the Collections and Exhibition Designer at The Ceredigion Museum, much of Stuart’s artistic output reflects his curiosity and knowledge of local history, which not surprisingly  is closely associated with maritime history, boat building, shipping and trading. Inspired by the tremendous range of artifacts at the museum, Stuart is perhaps best known for his black and white hand-coloured linocuts of boasts. Based upon some of the superb models and paintings to be found at the museum, these colourful prints help to narrate some of the epic journeys made by these vessels, their captains and crew.

Stuart Evans will be showing Broken and damaged, his watercolours, etching, and lino print works at the dining room display, Bronglais Hospital, Aberystwyth from 15th January until 9th April 2018.
