As part of our support for local culture, we mount small art exhibitions in The Crown at Pantygelli with the next one being held shortly to highlight the work of talented and award winning local artist and author Caroline Downey.
Caroline Downey is an award-winning artist who lives and works with her Blacksmith husband Peter Downey in Cwmyoy in the Llanthony Valley, situated in the Black Mountains and National Parkland in Wales. They renovated an old coach house and have designed and built Downey Barn Gallery in their garden on the side of a hill.

In 2002 Caroline won the Daler-Rowney Worldwide Golden Jubilee Painting Competition for her 'Sculptured Board' painting of 'Millennium at the crooked Church of Cwmyoy'.
Caroline uses acrylic or spray paint to complete her work on board and occasionally produces work on reverse of Perspex. As well as her paintings, Caroline produces rustic wire sculptures and has recently published her first illustrated book 'The Black Mountain Sheep'.
