A Solo exhibition featuring a new collection of work by artist Lucy Elizabeth Jones. This body of work is a continuation and a development of a longstanding fascination with the character and flow of paint. The working title, ‘Plastic Rivers’ reflects upon an increasing awareness that although acrylic paint is a man made invention, the laws of physics that are inherent in it are not. An attraction lies in the contradiction of the man made environment and that of the natural world as is subtly referenced within the photographic images contained within the paintings.
More usually found exhibiting in the context of group shows alongside fellow artists in the arts collective CHART, this is a long awaited opportunity for the Artist. Many of the paintings in this exhibition have been made recently during this year’s Helfagelf. This is a collection of artists and studios from across North Wales where Lucy’s studio is based.
A new collection of work by artists from North Wales upstairs at MOSTYN, in partnership with Helfa Gelf Art Trail.

The exhibition is curated by Barry Morris, MOSTYN. This showcase offers you a glimpse of Helfa Gelf Art Trail, Wales’s largest open studio event, which takes place across Gwynedd, Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire and Wrexham. We see this as a valuable opportunity for our visitors to experience some of the exciting and diverse work being produced in the region.
I will be exhibiting at Theatre Clwyd alongside some fantastic artists In this group exhibition
This curated exhibition includes painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, jewellery, ceramics and textiles by selected members and provides a great opportunity to appreciate their artistic talent in a gallery setting.
A lot of my archive from earlier on in my career consists of Colour slides and VHS .
Luckily I acquired a 35mm scanner to convert my black and white negatives and colour slides to digital files. It is both nostalgic and creative to revisit old images sometimes forgotten about and see how they fit into my current work practice.
Until recently I had completely forgotten about this TV Interview filmed around the year 2000. I had to send it away to get the original studio copy on VHS converted to MP4. As VHS does degrade I was very pleased with the result.
The Biggest thing to change however is how I talk about my work. I seam to talk in very simplified terms, (although I was very nervous). It makes me realise how much better I understand the how the where and the why of what I do and also how I understand myself.
So, talking to David Petersen about my then recent Installation project ‘Rainbow Bridge’ For the HTV production River Patrol, I try to explain how I believe that the viewer becomes part of the artwork through their participation in it.
The journey of the River Dee from beginning to end through the medium of art. I’ve edited this video just to show the Chester Part but the entire video is available to watch on my youtube channel featuring other artists.
When the opportunity arose to work with a local business social networking group, Seventy9 social, whilst at the same time helping to support a charity close to my heart, Act for wildlife, https://www.actforwildlife.org.uk/ I jumped at it.
I’m lucky enought to live not far away from the world famous Chester Zoo and to some extent being able to see rare and magnificent creatures at the drop of a hat can be taken for granted. But in recent years more and more people have become aware of the groundbreaking conservation work they do across the world. They are raising funds and awareness through the charity Act for Wildlife. Alongside highlighting particular issues such as the harm unsustainable palm oil has on the population of south east asian Orangutangs.
In more recent times also the fabulous Oakfield Manor, the home of the founders of the Zoo, has been brought back to its former glory and maybe a bit more and was the venue for a very special christmas event promoting small businesses and act for wildlife.
I had the honor of displaying my artwork in these very grand surroundings and nurturing some interesting collaborative relationships for the future.
