Artists of West Wales in their Studios

Photographic Portraits by Diane Walkey

Monday 9 January - Wednesday 15 February 2006

Personal Statement

Fine art photographer Diane Walkey presents a body of portraits portraying West Wales artists in their studios. This fascinating on-going project portrays well established artists such as John Knapp-Fisher and Philip Sutton RA as well as younger artists such as Sophie Mafanwy Wellan. Through this project, Diane seeks to archive and document West Wales’ artistic scene while presenting a unique personal statement and response to the subjects. All the images in this show were taken on Fujicolor film stock with a Mamiya medium format camera.

Diane Walkey’s work has been exhibited widely, including The Royal Photographic Society and The Science Museum, London and she was the winner of the 2003 Independent Energy Saving Trust National Photography competition. In addition to photography, she is involved in painting and in Art Education and tutors for the Open College of the Arts (affiliated to the Open University).

Diane grew up on the Gower Peninsular near Swansea and has lived in Pembrokeshire for the last fifteen years. She works in a number of disciplines, painting and paper works included and regularly exhibits with Cardigan Open Studios and Teifi Artists Group.

This project was assisted by Pembrokeshire County Council, Colab UK and Creative Mwldan Creadigidol.
