Gallery
My small paintings reflect my deep ancestral ties to the Welsh industrial landscape of South Wales. Each piece serves as a site-specific memory, capturing both my heritage and personal experiences.
"Autumn Walk" has been selected for The Wales Contemporary 2025 exhibition, which will be held at the Garrison Chapel Gallery in Chelsea Barracks, London, from February 25 to March 9, 2025. Following this exhibition, the painting will be displayed at the Waterfront Gallery in Milford Haven from March 21 to May 17, 2025. The artwork is an oil-on-board painting measuring 40 x 30 cm.
Artistic Expressions: A Diverse Collection of Paintings & Drawings.
Wales is a land that is full of echoes.
I am a contemporary Welsh artist born and living near Abergavenny, Wales. My landscapes are deeply inspired by the Welsh Landscape I grew up in and the surrounding nature. I have a strong ancestral connection to this place, being one of six generations that have settled here.
The ancestral footsteps I retrace reveal remnants of an industrial past, including abandoned structures that shape the landscape today. Although these paths may fade as nature takes over, the memories remain rooted and preserved, connecting culture, tradition, and place.
Using oil paint as my preferred medium, I explore these rich and dramatic landscapes. My drawings and paintings express the interwoven connection between human emotion and nature. My work captures moments that tell stories echoing through the land, reflecting my deep connection to this place. They invite viewers to remember and engage with the essence of a ‘Place’.

As part of my master's in fine art, I've been working alongside my daughter, Simone Baugh, a professional illustrator. We've created a series of works that narrate the tale of the Elder Mother Tree, drawing inspiration from the local landscape. These works will be featured at the Crickhowell Open Studios in 2024. Our journey has centred on producing new art pieces and delving into the essence of our collective heritage, demonstrating the profound impact of collaboration.
