This exhibition is rooted in an artwork begun on January 1st 2015 called Joy In The Presence, A Path In Peace. It contains over 3000 artworks created on consecutive days since that date.

It is a path through joy, pain, love, loss and hope, a journey exploring where the mind can travel when present. It holds Influences of many cultures including African, Asian, Aboriginal, Tibetan, European and native Wales.

There are adventures in understanding the Cosmos and deep emotional states.

Joy In The Presence is a path through it all- and why? - To gain a personal understanding of the nature of peace? Awakening the wisdom needed to observe experience and generate the qualities of Peace. It contains a deep connection with our nature both inside and out and a profound awareness of the inter-connected experience of our life. The reference to departures and arrivals is a reflection on our life’s journey through this process. Love, kindness, compassion and wisdom help us navigate this life in Peace. May we all experience these qualities.

Coaltrains coffee shop and gallery based at Barry Town train station is Barry’s newest independent coffee shop that offers opportunities for artists and musicians to develop and share their work.
