Collection Information

Prolific in both her local area and beyond, the Welsh artist Gwyneth Willitt is a member of the Conwy Valley Art Society and devotes most of her time to working in oils and watercolours. Covering a wide array of subjects including prominent Welsh landmarks, still life, and the British coastline, as well as Scottish and Canadian landscapes, Willitt has a characterful approach to form and palette.

Her vibrant style includes both realist and more impressionistic works. While many are signed, all are by the artist's hand.
