Featured Works

Giles Gallery is proud to be the official representative and print supplier of, Rhondda artist, Elwyn Thomas.

Elwyn’s work is, almost exclusively, themed around the Rhondda Valleys, often the Rhondda Fach and the areas in which he was born and raised.

Elwyn is known by many as an art teacher from his time working at schools such as Ferndale Grammar and later Ferndale Comprehensive. After retiring in 1987, Elwyn took up painting full-time and continues to enjoy acclaim and success.

Giles Gallery is currently developing an online portfolio of a wide range of Elwyn’s work, including sketches, etchings and previously unseen works. The site will provide collectors and fans with the opportunity to purchase prints directly. Until then we have put together a small selection of works currently available as 12×8 inch prints (mounted for 16×12 inch frames) which cost £42 (excluding postage). To purchase, please contact the gallery.
