On Saturday the new art exhibition ‘Drawings and Paintings’ by Pamela Burns and David Field opened at Tenby Museum.

The exhibition features over fifty works from the two artists as well as sketch books and ephemeral material.

David and Pamela, who hail originally from London, are now based in Fishguard. Pamela studied at the Royal Academy Schools and later taught at St Martins and Chelsea College of Art.

She has exhibited widely, including at the Hayward Gallery and Artists International Association and has had solo exhibitions at the Barbican and Jonathan Clark Fine Art.

Her work has been described as portraying “a viscerally felt world, of earthy truths, where land meets sea, and sea sky. A world where one is led far beyond landscape, to ideas of other frontiers, and on to the realms of colour, form and texture that make up the language of abstraction.”

David studied painting at St Martins School of Art and Royal Academy Schools. He worked as a designer and photographer for the architect Sir Frederick Gibberd before moving into lecturing. He has also received awards for his photography.

After retiring from teaching he started painting full time and has numerous solo and group exhibitions. His work is in both public and private collections.

The exhibition at Tenby Museum runs until Saturday, March 2.
