John Cambrian Rowland

John Cambrian Rowland was born in the small village of Lledrod, Ceredigion which is situated in mid-west Wales in 1819 and later established himself as an artist in the nearby coastal town of Aberystwyth. It is speculated that he studied at the Kensington School of Art. He often received patronage from the local minor gentry and his practice took him around Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and Radnorshire.
