Gareth Hopkins

Gareth is lucky to live in the beautifully diverse landscape of South Wales with its complex and ever changing landscapes and light - he spends many hours noting , photographing and sketching the meeting points between the sea , sky and mountains all around the Glamorgan heritage coast and the surrounding areas. He is especially fascinated by the geology and fabric of the local coast and its luminosity. His creative drive is to interpret this landscape, it’s people and the sense of place.

Gareth is a self taught artist who has fitted in developing his painting style and techniques with a career, being a dad and finding a space and or time to sit down and paint - now semi retired he has started to work towards a distinctive style and hopes to develop his understanding of wringing out the essence of the world around him, in paint.
