Tenby (Dinbych-y-pysgod in Welsh, meaning fortlet of the fish) holds

Nature provides the most stunning inspiration for artists and designers across many creative disciplines. Since re-kindling my passion for drawing when I moved to the Wiltshire countryside two years ago, I’ve been increasingly aware of the wonder of nature.  In my weekly art classes, we are given the freedom to explore that which interests us
