I photographed Eleanor over two days in the priory at Wilmington. Only during our conversations over dinner did I learn that she is a direct descendant of Alfred Tennyson: the poet whose portrait was made by Julia Margaret Cameron. To be making portraits of a poet whose ancestor once stood before Cameron’s lens felt like history folding gently into the present.
The first photo shows the two books side by side. The second shows Eleanor on the left cuddling my whippet Juno. Her writing moves between the domestic and the unsettling. One poem describes the neighbours’ stories about the previous tenant, and the strange tenderness of keeping something he left behind - an Xbox - held “like a teddy or a prayer.”
Alfred Tennyson wrote:
“‘Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.”
and
“Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.”
A long line of words, images, and portraits continues.

7 February to 28 June 2026
A once‑in‑a‑generation exhibition marking her 150th birthday, bringing together rarely seen works from Amgueddfa Cymru and collections around the world. Gwen John saw the world differently: quietly, attentively, and with extraordinary depth. That way of looking shaped everything, from her sitters and their poses to her colours and her method.
Walking through the rooms, I felt an immediate connection to her precision and the way she considered every small shift in a sitter’s posture. The restraint, the concentration, the stillness, all held with clarity. It is striking and heartbreaking to be reminded that she had only one solo exhibition during her lifetime, despite the strength and modernity of her vision.
The exhibition invites you to slow down, look closer, and see the world through Gwen’s eyes. Unmissable for anyone who cares about the quiet intensity of looking.

Friends who know me, know that I never share new photos especially when I am in the middle of the project and working on it. Why am I making an exception now?
I hired a priory from the 13th century in the countryside and I invited 3 women to come over. They lived quite close so that was very practical.
We didn't know each other, it turned out we are all 10 years apart from each other.
The openness, the warmth and the trust made a bond I will never forget. It was so special with each other, I so strongly needed to let you know that magic can happen even when you don't know each other, but intuition and trust is there to guide. My heart is full of warmth with new memories and the photos to prove it.
Special thanks to Frank my husband who took care of us by cooking.
Thank you who was there to give his cuddles for free
