Ranging from John Cale to National Theatre Wales, our aim is to give you an insight into the deep and rich creative people that have shaped our nation.

Shani Rhys James MBE (born 1953) is a Welsh painter based in Llangadfan, Powys. She has been described as “arguably one of the most exciting and successful painters of her generation” and “one of Wales’ most significant living artists”. She was elected to the Royal Cambrian Academy of Art in 1994. In the 2006 New Years Honours she was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for “services to art”.
Novelist and critic Gary Raymond discusses her distinctive style.
Wales Arts Review would like to thank the Arts Council of Wales for their invaluable support and without whose help this project would not have been possible.
