At the Rock we currently display local works of art from artist Sylvia Pitman.
The artist, Sylvia Pitman, originally from Maesycwmner, Monmouthshire, attended Bedwellty Grammar School and went on to study fine art at Cardiff College of Art. She had a very long sabbatical in which she married and raised her children… all the time drawing and painting.
Sylvia has taught French and English at colleges of Further Education. On retirement she ran an art class for all comers. This was for 20 years, 17 of which included the organisation and running of Open Art Exhibitions each October.
Her work is varied and includes portraits, local scenes and collage & montage. She has illustrated children’s books and books of poetry, and her art can be seen countrywide in commercial premises and homes, and worldwide.
Please feel free to ask about the artwork on display when you come and visit.
