William Selwyn

Born in Caernarfon in 1933, where he still lives and paints, William studied at Bangor College and taught in Caernarfon until he retired in 1990 to become a full time painter. His work is intensely atmospheric and revolves around the landscapes of Gwynedd, local farm workers, fishermen on the Menal Straits and also scenes of Venice where he visits frequently. In 1998 he was a 3rd Prize winner in the Singer & Friedlander Sunday Times competition.This gives an indication of his increasing popularity and he is fast becoming one of Wales' leading artists, not only in Wales but elsewhere.
