Seren Bell
Born and brought up in Tiverton, Devon, later graduating with a BA hons degree in English and Fine Art at Exeter University, afterwards moving back to my family roots In Aberystwyth, Mid Wales.
Now living in one of the most beautiful parts of the upper Wye valley, I have come to love its hillsides, hung with ancient woods and lined with sheep tracks. From the heights above the valley I can see the Black mountains and Brecon Beacons which form a constant backdrop to daily walks with my dogs. My work is mostly concerned with animals, particularly sheep which are so much part of our heritage, but my eye is increasingly drawn to the many simple Radnorshire chapels and churches which are so much part of this landscape.
I have exhibited widely, my work can be found in many private collections including that of His Majesty King Charles.
