Pictures can change our lives. Tenby born artist Rhian Field lives and works in Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK.  Having been taught to draw and observe nature like an artist by her Father from a very young age, she is now coastal science-trained and paints with a purpose, with an understanding of how everything connects in a meaningful way.

Her collectors include ecologist-divers and those who are mesmerised by our coastal and aquatic environment. Subjects include Grey Seals, diving birds such as Guillemots, Razorbills and Gannets, as well as Jellyfish, Octopus and Kelp.
