February at King Street Gallery
SPOTLIGHT ON DONNA GRAY
Each month a different King Street Gallery artist is featured in our Spotlight Room. Throughout February artist Donna Gray will be showing her new work in a beautiful exhibition of recent paintings and prints.
Donna is a figurative painter from Carmarthenshire who graduated with an honours degree in Graphic Design from Carmarthenshire College of Technology and Art in 1999.
Portraits and figurative pieces form the basis of Donna’s work. “I find people the most interesting subject matter of all, and am fascinated by the challenge of capturing the likeness and character of the person,” she tells us. “My approach is very honest: I paint what I see in front of me using a style that comes naturally. I also aim to produce a beautiful and lasting object in the completed work.”
Donna prefers to work from life, making quick sketches in biro and longer studies with water mixable oils on canvas or board. She also enjoys studying the work of as many eminent and influential artists as she can - both old and new.
In the Spotlight Room you’ll find Donna’s very own studio chair which has been left for a purpose. It gives you the opportunity to take a seat, grab a pen or pencil and leave a drawing in the special sketchbook. Donna’s favourite sketch will win the artist an original monoprint by Donna!

KING STREET GALLERY ARTISTS GO LITTLE AND LARGE!
“Little and Large”, a new exhibition in the Chate Room which runs from 7th-19th February, features work by King Street Gallery artists which is (you guessed it) either little or large!
The exhibition aims to show how artists creatively tackle the challenge of producing work of differening scale – and how size accentuates various aspects of their unique approaches.
If you have a huge wall you want to fill with a statement work, or a tiny corner you’d like to freshen up, don’t miss this exhibition of the perfect little and large pieces!
