Jean Walcott and Heather Evans will be exhibiting their work in Oriel 2 as part of the International Womens Festival.

Jean is an abstract painter using various media such as oils, waxes (hot and cold), acrylics and egg termpera. She is stimulated by her interpretation of the body and body parts. Mostly working on a large scale she enjoys the occasional challenge of smaller works. Jean exhibits regularly throughout Wales and the USA and will again be taking up a residency in Vermont this May.

Heather studied painting and stained glass design at Swansea College of Art. Following 22 years of teaching art, she concentrated on glass design and construction and restoring church windows. Heather has exhibited her work across Wales and the West of England.

Heather finds inspiration for her work in nature, man-made structures and materials which offer a wealth of colour, texture and line. Each element is explored and a harmonious link forged. Often 'found fragments' are incorporated into projects to reinforce the link. Techniques used varied from traditional to experimental. The ocean and shore lines hold a particular fascination for Heather.
