Pamela J Jones

Welshpool, Powys

Pamela Jones -Chapel House Gallery, Beriew, Mid Wales 01686 640722.
Pammy feels that she has finally come home here to this converted chapel a mile or so from the black and white village of Berriew that lies between Welshpool and Newtown. Cosy cottage rooms open on to what was once the chapel itself with its high windows through which the light streams. Light that makes this vast space an ideal artist's studio.
One wall is devoted to Pamela's paintings and her latest work, 'Macaw's feathers,' is still on the easel. The body of the room is taken up with a long table upon which, easels and water pots are set awaiting the students who fill the chapel house in spring and autumn. Pamela is an outreach tutor for Coleg Powys and as such she teaches art for level one, two and three during term time.
Other people find there way here of course, for Pamela's studio is also her gallery. She sells at the occasional craft fair and since joining Valley Arts and Crafts, her work will be for sale at their Lake Vyrnwy gallery and shop. Her paintings are brought by collectors worldwide but secretly, she grieves for those she has sold for each one has taken many hours of work. Pam has decided to hold regular workshops in the summer so she can share this absorbing pass-time with others.
All sorts of people find their way here, she says. It may be quiet and away from the bustle of every day life, for that is what attracts not only Pamela, but visitors who come to admire the chapel house and her amazing artwork. from Aprils 2007 edition of North,Mid Wales & Borders Living.
