Artist Graham Sutherland once stated 'the quality of light here (Pembrokeshire) is magical and transforming'. When one examines the sheer volume of artists who have been drawn here it becomes obvious that Sutherland's observation was not an idle one. Tantalisingly changing with every opportunistic whim of nature, the locality presents itself as something new with every passing moment, all four seasons presented often in one day.


This 'exhibition' is designed to showcase not only the talent of the numerous artists who have painted here but also the transcendent beauty of this magical county.
