Beacons Way Art Trail
The Park Society and the Brecknock
Museum Art Trust have developed an art project to celebrate the Beacons Way
long-distance trail across the Brecon Brecons National Park.
After an open competition, eight Powys artists were chosen to create an artwork
that has been placed somewhere along the route of each of the eight days walk.
The images that have been created are a response by the artist to the landscape,
ecology or culture of the Brecon Beacons and the area through which the walk
passes. Each work has been cast or etched in metal and set into natural stone
along the way and will have to be discovered by the walker who will be
encouraged to take a rubbing.
A list of the artists with their preferred mediums is shown below:
Marcelle Davies embroidered
miniatures
Sue Hiley Harris woven sculptures
Desmond Harrison sculptures in recycled materials
Megan Jones landscape in oils and watercolours
Shirley Jones book art - limited editions and etchings
Robert Macdonald paintings, lino and wood block prints
Sally Matthews sculptures in natural materials
Richard Renshaw sculptures in wood, stone and bronze
