| Biography: | Hope you are well and happy new year, I am contacting you in regards to a new family business Class Art From The Heart for you to have a look at as we are trying to contact organizations and companies that are and can be linked with Welsh Heritage sites all over the world about our business. Our names are Donna and Jeff Phillips and we are father and daughter who have just started a new business in Swansea, South Wales www.class-art-from-the-heart.co.uk which is live on the internet and started in December. My father is a well established welsh community artist and writer with over thirty years of origonal artwork, he has worked in many places in the UK and Spain and on many projects over the years including The Prince's Trust, Swansea's Enviroment Centre, A Lifelong Fellowship Award from The Millenium Commision and Regional Schools over the past ten years.
We have always had the idea of the business, but since living in Barcelona myself in 2005 surrounded on a day to day basis by beautiful architecture and meeting a lot of good friends who are involved in art galleries and sport there, I came home to plan for the last two years the set up of an on-line shop to sell his fine art prints from our origonal artwork, we have now set up the website with Business Sense in Llansamlet Swansea. We had our business launch and paintings exhibited in the Platinum Lounge at the Liberty Stadium on the 10th December just gone and we came to realise from feedback that we could do a lot of great work internationally.
Even though our main line will be the website, we are also going to branch out into sports promotional artwork and welsh heritage which we will build on our website, my father has recently painted Farewell to Stradey Park in Llanelli as a 30in by 40in acrylic on canvas as a promotion, from the origonal we auctioned off a print which raised £110.00 for the Rhydaman Childrens Dancers, we plan to auction off the origonal also to raise funds for the Ray Gravell Memorial Trust. We are also planning on doing promotional art work on The Swans, The Ospreys and other regional sportsmen and women to portray them as iconic heroes in oils after much studied feedback from fans, as we would like to break into the ex pat market with welsh pieces of art which will have a very extensive range that we are going to build constantly.
Jeff my father is also a writer and illistrator, three books in total two are based on his educational project work over the last ten years with primary schools to teach children about the enviroment ' Toby Toucan ', based on rainforest concern and ' Denzil The Dragonfly ' a story designed to raise awareness of enviromental issues. these are currently with publishers with the idea of them going into the school curriculum.There is also a fully illistrated fantasy written book ' Return Home To Annwn ', a story about welsh, irish and norse mythology which is available on www.amazon.com , but has been re-written after much research, this book is currently with Barclays Bank to be looked into as a seperate part of our business Class Written art From The Heart.
Both myself and my father Jeff are looking forward to setting up www.class-art-from-the-heart.co.uk and the exciting routes it will take us through art and business at home and abroad. We have recently been on BBC Radio Wales for the Jamie and Louise show on the 26th of January to get the business known as ex-pats all over the world listen into BBC.
we are available to contact at any time with queries by email through www.class-art-from-the-heart.co.uk.
Kind Regards Donna Phillips |
