EXHIBITION PROGRAMME 2013 Winter Group Show All the artists we represent were each invited to bring in new work for this exhibition.

John Cooper Sue Morgan Carys Roberts John Cooper is considered to be a member of that distinct group of Welsh painters from the 1950s that have become known as the "Naive Realists" who made the South Wales valleys their subject. In his current work he continues to explore this theme. Sue Morgan was born in Newport, Monmouthshire and studied graphic design. For fifteen years she was a prize-winning freelance illustrator/writer of children's stories. Her semi-naive painting style evolved over time and her themes are simple seascapes and landscapes, children and animals. Carys Roberts was born in Swansea, trained at Birmingham College of Art then entered teaching. She retired as Head of Art at Bishop Gore School, Swansea in 2009. Her main interest is in printmaking and she takes inspiration from the environment of Swansea and Gower. .

George Little George Little was born in 1927 in Danygraig, Swansea and studied at Swansea College of Art and Ruskin School of Drawing at Oxford University. He had a long art teaching career before his retirement in 1994. Since then he has been able to concentrate solely on his own work. He has exhibited widely throughout Britain in solo, joint and mixed shows. His paintings and drawings are often based on the industrial environment in which he grew up and his later work has reflected the decline and eventual decay of those former areas of heavy industry.
