Mark Wilson Originals

Local born Mark Wilson has a deep connection to Gower.  After studying Art and Education in West Sussex, he embarked on a long teaching career where he could share his artistic passion with his pupils. Now he has left the classroom in order to devote himself full time to his art. Wilson finds inspiration from the places of his childhood, where he spent his time fishing and rock pooling. Today he visits these sights with his easel and brushes, braving the elements to capture the ever-changing light and weather of Gower in paint. Wilson works exclusively en plein air, directly observing the landscape and quickly recording the scene before him. The reward for Wilson's willingness to paint outdoors in all conditions is the ability to share the beauty of Gower with those who view his work from the comfort of a gallery.
