Clare Stowell from the Port of Milford Have: Welcoming new tenant Anna Waters to Milford Waterfront

TALENTED local artist Anna Waters has opened a new studio and gallery at Milford Waterfront where she will draw on inspiration from the picturesque surroundings.

Anna is one of the Port of Milford Haven’s newest tenants, having worked with the Quayside Properties team to transform the premises to suit her needs. She is now able to display her artwork which is destined for exhibitions across the country and hold hands-on workshops.

Anna’s paintings are largely inspired by Pembrokeshire’s landscape such as sunsets and sandy beaches and she will often use a variety of techniques across the same canvas in order to best capture the essence of the scene.

Clare Stowell, Property and Development Manager at the Port of Milford Haven, has welcomed Anna to Milford Waterfront.

She said “It’s fantastic to have such a talented artist within our portfolio. We’re keen to have diverse mix of attractions on offer and this studio and gallery will add to the variety of things to do and see on a day out to Milford Haven. We wish Anna every success going forward.”

Anna is delighted with the new location, commenting: “I’m really grateful to the Port of Milford Haven for helping me to get set up. I’m finding that the marina is a really vibrant place to work, full of activity and wonderful light that bounces off the water. It’s a great location for the workshops I host.”

The studio and gallery is located at 1 Victory House, Milford Marina and is generally open most week days, however, opening times do vary in response to Anna’s commissioned work.

If making a specific journey, it’s best to contact Anna on 07789767364 or email [email protected] beforehand. Samples of her work can be viewed online at www.annawaters.co.uk and workshops can be booked by contacting Anna on 07789 767364 or [email protected]
