Collection: Elizabeth Haines : Painter : Pembrokeshire

Elizabeth Haines has lived and worked in Pembrokeshire for over 40 years, and lives on her hill farm in the Preselis. Her paintings are exhibited in Cardiff, Aberystwyth, Swansea, Pembrokeshire and London, as well as at her studio on a hill farm in the Preseli Mountains of Wales.

She trained as an illustrator, and illustrated many books before moving entirely to painting. Over time her work has evolved gradually into a much more flexible and imaginative approach, a style which walks a tightrope between the figurative and the abstract, where influences of European and British painting of the early 20^th century are very much apparent. Her work evokes the landscape of France as well as of Wales and, although grounded in observation, is frequently described as surreal and dreamlike.
