Janette Philips 2006 at oriel queens hall gallery - art from the heart of pembrokeshire

Back to previous page

Janette Phillips has produced a fine body of work based on a short film she made of a friend moving through a woodland area in a wedding dress collecting things like a magpie, which is the clue to the title of the show “seven for a secret”.

She then took stills from this film and made prints and paintings based on the beautiful patterns in the trees and movement of the dress. Haunting music accompanies the film and the subtle layers of paint with discreet use of mixed media gives an overall impression of mystery.

The photographs on the stairs are also by Janette and these are based on heart shapes made in the sand and in the dew and in nature, very attractive and appropriate for this valentine month.

Janette has moved to Pembrokeshire with her husband who is also an artist and their three children. She has a background in graphics and over the recent years has developed an interesting style which explores different surfaces and reflects her recent fine art training.

The exhibition is open 10am-5pm daily.
