This cottage is inspired by one on the road ( A487) towards Machynlleth from Borth, roughly an area between Morben and Eglwys Fach; there was a ruined cottage that Lynda saw briefly from the road. So it’s really a quick memory of that and a rough idea of the mountains behind!
Lynda remembers it being really atmospheric and the idea of it stuck in her memory. So it was inspired by a place but if someone looked for it, they probably wouldn’t exactly find it !
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.
