‘Looking across to Newton Court and the woods rising behind it, I observed groups of old hedgerows and trees scattered through the fields. In this view, a gap in the hedge reveals further fields beyond. The “old castle” in the title refers to a small mound in one field, long believed to be a tumulus, but recently identified as the temporary site of the original Monmouth Castle before the main castle was constructed in the town around 1200’
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.
