Jean Houghland
Mountain
Once in Holyhead, turn left at Cenotauph and follow signs for South Stack. In Llaingoch, just after village hall/post office, take right up mountain, where road forks go right, then turn left and left again.
My work has a broad subject base. I paint from observation, the human figure, the mountain landscape; trees, rocks, seascapes, waterfalls and flowers. I use watercolour, oils, acrylic, inks, collage and mixed media to create unusual paintings of people, costume, memories, dreams, still life, abstract, interpretations of places and poetry.
I am a marine artist – i.e. most of my work has a marine theme or subject matter from historical reconstruction, sail, steam etc but I also lean towards coastal landscapes and indeed some landscape in general. I work in oil, watercolour, ink, and some pastel. My work has exhibited at the Royal Society of Marine Artists, London. Also exhibitions in Liverpool and of course Anglesey.
The Bridge/Y Bont is a new one-act opera from Edward Wright and Marian Bryfdir which explores the nuances of living with dementia for both the individual and those around them: the highs, the lows, and the many unlikely in-betweens.
