Almost a year after drawing her first colourful creation in Narberth - the community’s very own ‘Rainbow Fairy’ Diana Brook is hanging up her wings, but not before she offers some Easter cheer to the area!

Diana drew her first rainbow on her Heddfan studio window in St James Street at the start of April last year when she and neighbours were out showing their support by clapping for the NHS on a Thursday evening; and she was soon labelled a ‘community champion’ by residents by painting rainbows on windows or glass doors to symbolise solidarity with health workers.

What started out as a way to bring some positivity to the community during the pandemic for artist has now raised over £7,500 for Leukaemia UK a charity very close to Diana’s heart.

Such has been the significance of Diana’s work in the town, that the colourful mural that she co-created on the town’s old school building last year with Pembrokeshire artist ‘Lloyd the Graffiti’ will also form part of the site’s new development plans.

In the lead up to the Easter holidays, Diana has been out and about once again drawing cute chicks on windows, with the town’s children still excited when they see her coming to their houses to paint with her acrylic pens and brighten up the community.

Narberth town councillor Liz Rogers praised Diana’s efforts throughout the pandemic.

“Thousands of windows have been decorated in Narberth thanks to Diana’s extraordinary work and the miles she must’ve walked!” said Clr. Rogers.

“Diana’s creations which have also made it onto mugs and gifts, have been sent all over the country and as far as New Zealand and America!

“After this batch of window Easter chicks she’s hanging up her wings. As a town councillor, a Narberth resident and a person whose window has been so wonderfully decorated for the last 12 months I must thank Diana the rainbow fairy extraordinaire for her wonderful efforts,” she added.
