“This painting was inspired by some quite striking undergrowth up in the ancient woods at Whitestone near Catbrook in the Wye Valley. It all looked a bit psychedelic! It started off as a daytime walk painting but it turned into a moonlit one and I imagined it in the month of May when the vegetation is out and there’s an odd light under a full moon. Hence the quite strange colours!”
Lynda was born in Sunderland in 1970, settling in Monmouth in the early 1980’s, where she has lived ever since. She studied Art Foundation at Newport College of Art & Design, followed by a degree in Visual Art at The University of Wales, Aberystwyth.
She worked for a number of years in a non art related business, always painting in her spare time. In 2007 she finally gave up her day job and started painting full time.
Her canvases are mostly depictions of landscapes in the Monmouth area – the final image often bears little relation to the original subject but all have a common starting point – the memory of a place she knows well.
