This is a view from Mansons Lane north of Monmouth up to the top of the hill and looking across the Monnow Valley to the mountains in the distance. Lynda wanted to capture the way the cultivated fields swept down to the river and wanted it to look like a sepia photograph. This is a beautiful landscape just outside Monmouth, quiet and unspoilt.
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.
