Trearddur Bay
Take J2 off A55 near Holyhead and follow the signs for Trearddur Bay. Half way down the big hill in Trearddur Bay, turn left into Trearddur Road. Take 3 rights and 1 left to the end of the cul-de-sac.
I paint, draw and print in order to explore ideas and concepts involved with how we portray and perceive the world around us through the medium of art.
Open throughout the year by prior appointment.
For many years I have been exploring faces carved on C18th slate headstones – I have a collection of over 100 photos. Time obscures them with lichen and soil, they crumble and split, but enough remain to stare back through the centuries and fascinate me – my work uses layers, pasted on or pulled off; my canvasses record history embedded in the earth, as if covering or uncovering the past.
