Gabrielle Dudley

I studied Fine Art Painting at Exeter College of Art in 1969. After leaving I married and spent much of my youth raising a family and working in Agriculture.
I returned to the arts in 1992 to study ceramics by attending Carmarthen College of Art, and followed this by spending a further two years at the college as a ceramics technician's assistant helping students with their very diverse projects. This has given me a very wide base of knowledge of fine art painting, printing, glasswork and ceramics and all its possibilities.
I began making tiles and mosaics as a business in 1997, having spent three years in my workshop at home experimenting and producing work for exhibitions.
Since then I have produced a very large quantity of murals, individual tiles, paintings, glass window mosaics, painted glass - used for splash backs and kitchen cupboard door inserts, and ceramic portrait cameos. Each of the works gets the same level of care and they are worked on until they meet my exacting standards.

I have exhibited regularly during those years of production, and have shown both ceramics and paintings in London's St. Martins Street, at the Tile and Stone Show at the Excel Centre in East London, at the Grand Designs exhibitions in Birmingham and at numerous other venues in Wales, Oxfordshire, Norfolk, Hampshire, Chicago and Belfast as well as having a presence at one day events such as the Reading show, the Royal Welsh show, Summer Craft Fairs, Food and River Festivals and Christmas Fairs all around Wales from Cardiff to Aberystwyth. After opening my own Gallery at the old school in 2016 my work is now permanently on show and can be viewed at any time.
I welcome commissions of paintings and tileworks and relish a challenge.
