Friday 8 August – Sunday 7 September 2025

This exhibition showcases the expressive paintings and ceramics of Bron Jones, capturing the wild beauty and vibrant energy of Skokholm Island in Pembrokeshire. Through abstract style, bold colour, and dynamic forms, the works celebrate the island’s unique landscape and rich wildlife. It is home to globally significant populations of seabirds. Ronald Lockley, ornithologist and naturalist, called Skokholm his ‘Dream Island’. Now protected by the Wildlife Trust of South & West Wales, Skokholm is a haven of unspoiled nature and is recognized as Britain’s first bird observatory and a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Sales from the exhibition will support ongoing conservation efforts for this ecological island.

This exhibition showcases the expressive paintings and ceramics of Bron Jones, capturing the wild beauty and vibrant energy of Skokholm Island in Pembrokeshire. Through abstract style, bold colour, and dynamic forms, the works celebrate the island’s unique landscape and rich wildlife. It is home to globally significant populations of seabirds. Ronald Lockley, ornithologist and naturalist, called Skokholm his ‘Dream Island’. Now protected by the Wildlife Trust of South & West Wales, Skokholm is a haven of unspoiled nature and is recognized as Britain’s first bird observatory and a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Sales from the exhibition will support ongoing conservation efforts for this ecological island.
