“This picture is inspired by a photo a friend sent me, taken on a late evening walk at the end of summer. I used the photo as a basis for this painting, it has altered very much but I wanted to retain the strange light. The shadows are strong and low, the sun is setting but the sky remains an intense blue. The location is based on The Doward, on the border between England and Wales and this painting is set at the time of day between daytime and evening. There is an Iron Age Hill Fort on the top of the hill so it would have been a very busy place a long time ago but now is deserted and quiet.”

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.
