Oriel Beth Horrocks Gallery | Caernarfon
Life: Full Colour | Caernarfon
Oriel Glyn Davies Gallery
| Caernarfon
North Wales artist Beth Horrocks was raised on Anglesey, spending her formative years exploring and investigating the beauty of her surroundings.
The motion of the waves, the sounds as they crash into the shore; the variable aspects of something so transfixing has continued to play a large role in her life. The natural world is adept at portraying innumerable moods and intensities, and these depths of emotion have found their way into Beth’s depictions of North Wales in her artwork.
​
Visit Beth at her newly opened studio in the heart of Caernarfon, a two minute walk from Caernarfon castle.

Four Decades of Qualified Professional Photography with books on Royal Coffee Tables
Forty years as a full-time professional photographer. Starting out as an editorial & documentary photographer I worked primarily for the yachting press and also titles such Country Life & Country Living. Clients included the National Trust, Forestry Commission, National Grid, First Hydro (HEP), S4C, ITV and most recently I worked on a large exhibition project for Betsi Cadwaladr / NHS.
​
In 2002, I established a studio & photography gallery in Menai Bridge. In 2023 my lovely landlord sadly died and this prompted me to change location altogether, choosing Caernarfon as an exciting, history rich, destination castle town. I am now part of a creative retail hub at Cei Llechi (Slate Quay) where visitors will get the chance to see the work of numerous other artistic people. It also means I can start showing a different range of prints to most of those seen in my Anglesey gallery.
​
If you are making a long journey to visit the gallery, PLEASE ring first to double check the gallery will be open.
