We will have Two portrait categories:
1- ‘Paint a Portrait’ We are delighted to announce that the one and only Rhys Ifans has agreed to be this year’s Welsh STAR for our ‘Paint a Portrait’ category, bringing a touch of film glamour to our exhibition. All entries will be judged by Rhys, (he has requested that we use photos of him, rather than in film role’s some examples below)
2- ‘Pet Pawtrait’s – We would really love to see your favourite furry friends immortalised- in oil, pencil, or collage.

1 ‘Paentio Portread’ – mae’n bleser gennym gyhoeddi mai’r unigryw Rhys Ifans fydd SEREN eleni ar gyfer ein categori ‘Paentio Portread’, gan ddod â mymryn o hudoliaeth ffilm i’n harddangosfa.

Jane Simpson, founder of GS Artists says – “We are delighted to host a project that really has community at the heart of it. Our pets are so important to us, so immortalising them a real joy.
We are absolutely delighted that Rhys Ifans has agreed to be this year’s Welsh STAR. Portraits are a fantastic challenge for all, especially if the subject is admired as much as Rhys. Previous subjects were; Catherine Zeta Jones, Michael Sheen, Sir Peter Blake and Rob Brydon, immortalised in oil paint, pencil, collage, fabric, cardboard, metal, and beetroot.
The enthusiasm and results have been amazing, and we are really looking forward to this year’s contributions, and thank you as always to our creative community that have shown such imagination, enthusiasm and commitment to this project every year!
Dywed Jane Simpson, sylfaenydd GS Artists “Rydym yn falch iawn o gynnal prosiect sydd â chymuned yn ganolog iddo. Mae ein hanifeiliaid anwes mor bwysig inni, felly mae eu hanfarwoli yn bleser pur.
Rydym wrth ein bodd bod Rhys Ifans wedi cytuno i fod yn SEREN eleni. Mae portreadau yn her wych i bawb, yn enwedig os yw’r pwnc yn cael ei edmygu cymaint â Rhys. Pynciau blaenorol oedd Catherine Zeta Jones, Michael Sheen, Sir Peter Blake a Rob Brydon, a gafodd eu hanfarwoli mewn paent olew, pensil, collage, ffabrig, cardfwrdd, metel, a betys.
Mae’r brwdfrydedd a’r canlyniadau wedi bod yn anhygoel, ac rydym yn edrych ymlaen yn fawr at gyfraniadau eleni. Diolch unwaith eto i’n cymuned greadigol sydd wedi dangos cymaint o ddychymyg, brwdfrydedd ac ymrwymiad i’r prosiect hwn bob blwyddyn!”
