Art in The Bar:
Jess Hinsley

Artist Jess Hinsley lives and works in y Bannau Brycheiniog (the Brecon Beacons), Wales. Her work explores her love of nature and wild places. This passion leads her into the mountains, and flows out through quick, spontaneous marks. Sometimes painting plein air with acrylic paint, sometimes making expressive works in her studio. Her use of colour reflects the richness and emotion she feels for  the landscape. For Jess the mountains are home, a healing place, alive beneath her feet.

Gareth Bain

Gareth Bain paints with acrylic on canvas paper or draws with fine felt tip pens. His artistic practice captures his visual interpretation of incidents that happen in his life: objects, characters, places; and his emotional responses to those incidents. Creative expression is hugely important to Gareth who often finds other forms of self-expression challenging being on the Autistic spectrum. 

Born in 1966 into a well-known local family in Brecon, Garath Bain is part of the L’Arche Brecon Community. Gareth sometimes finds the world overwhelming, and his art practice is where he finds peace and happiness through creative expression.
