About Us - Gallery Gwyn

We showcase new work from established artists living and working in Wales as well as exhibiting the work of early career creative practitioners.

Our aim is to inspire, nurture and entertain and we present an innovative programme of free exhibitions, with new show openings enjoyed every 8 weeks.

We hang a combination of solo exhibitions and themed group shows which demonstrate our strong commitment to quality and responsiveness to significant issues.

Gallery Gwyn works at the heart of the community offering inclusive creative opportunities for all community groups, and supports creative learning and art education from Key stage 2 through to Undergraduate level.

Helen Duffee BA (Hons) Fine Art. Helen Graduated from Carmarthen School of Art in 2006 and was selected for the National Eisteddfod Visual Arts Exhibition the same year. She has shown at the Washington Gallery in Penarth and Foyer Galleries in St. David’s Hall Cardiff and took part in the QaRt Digital Art Trail with Oriel Myrddin in Carmarthen. Most recently she has exhibited with Gallery Gwyn in their Gaia 22 Group Show, focusing on Climate Change. Her work explores the relationship between visual language and the contemporary cultural landscape. She combines found objects and materials with borrowed imagery and by using both Ordnance Survey maps and food packaging together, aims to create an interchange that informs an inside/outside dialectic, underpinning the work with environmental concerns. She has worked extensively with schools on Environmental Art projects, funded through Ceredigion County Council and has delivered Lead Creative Schools projects with support from Arts Council Wales. She currently works in her open studio at Gallery Gwyn.

Natalie Chapman BA (Hons) Fine Art. Natalie graduated from Carmarthen School of Art in 2017 . The following year saw Chapman listed in the Guardian list of emerging artists. She has since shown in Brick Lane, Hampstead, Edinburgh and had a solo show in MOMA Wales. Chapman has been short-listed for the Australian ‘Out from the mist’ short film awards, and the Ruth Borchard self-portrait award. Most recently her work has been bought by the National Library of Wales.

Chapman’s spirited figures subtly reveal the interpersonal dynamics of relationships through garish colour and incidental objects that help to set the scene. Skewed perspectives create unstable and confrontational spaces which are both captivating and unnerving and document human social relationships.

As well as making her own work Chapman is an experienced workshop leader and is passionate about working with minority groups to bring art and creativity as a means of expression.
