Hubberston Girls exhibition launches new space at Waterfront Gallery
A NEW exhibition exploring memories of growing up on a council estate has opened at the Waterfront Gallery in Milford Haven.
Artist Lynn Stuart is launching the gallery’s new exhibition space with her solo show, Hubberston Girls, which runs until Saturday, May 30.

The exhibition features a deeply personal series of works drawn and painted on brown paper. The material was chosen for its connection to everyday memories, including lunch bags and magazines wrapped in paper.
Once oiled, the paper becomes semi-transparent, allowing paint to be applied to the reverse and creating layered, intimate images.
The Waterfront Gallery is extending its opening hours for the exhibition and will be open Monday to Saturday, from 10:30am to 4:00pm.
A private view will be held on Thursday, May 14, from 3:00pm to 6:00pm, and all are welcome.
The gallery is based in the Old Sail Loft on Discovery Quay, Milford Waterfront, Milford Haven. It is one of south west Wales’s leading art galleries, a registered charity, and home to the Wales Contemporary annual competition.
The gallery is run by artist volunteers who exhibit there regularly.
