Featured Artist
Anna Waters
Anna Waters MA
Based in Tenby, West Wales, Anna Waters is a visual artist working across fine art and arts and health project design and facilitation. Inspired by her walking and kayaking adventures along the Pembrokeshire coast, she creates expressive paintings that capture the movement, light and texture of the coastal landscape. Through layered paint, gestural brushwork, thrown sand and splattered pigment, her work evokes the sensory and emotional experience of being immersed in the coastal environment.
Holding an MA in Art Practice (Arts, Health and Wellbeing), Anna's practice is rooted in the restorative power of creativity. She recently appeared on BBC Countryfile, sharing her painting process and discussing how her art practice supported her recovery from Lyme disease.
Alongside her coastal works, Anna explores environmental and global themes, often using symbolism to reflect on wellbeing and resilience. Her work has been exhibited across Wales and is held in private collections internationally.

Nicola Beattie
Nicola Beattie is an award-winning British sculptor whose work is
shaped by the quiet resonance of her Welsh homeland. Based in
Pembrokeshire, Nicola draws deeply from its landscape and the traces
of history embedded in architectural remains of ruined castles, ancient
standing stones and archaeological relics; places where history feels
suspended in time. Her carved forms in wood echo a stillness born of
such places; spaces where time seems to pause and the past is still
evident through the landscape. Nicola’s work aims to illustrate finding
peace in times of conflict through serene forms and textured surfaces.
A graduate of Wimbledon School of Art, Nicola’s sculptural career spans
over three decades, her works exhibited widely across the UK and
abroad, and held in collections throughout Europe, America, Australia,
and Asia. Notable bronze commissions include public works in
Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire, and a further bronze in a major
installation for the luxury Ontolo development in Tolo Harbour, Hong
Kong.
Robert Rascheke
