Nesta Eluned

I am a North Wales artist born and living in the hills of Eryri (Snowdonia). I attended Liverpool Art College in the early 1970s and am now able to fulfil a long held desire to be a full time artist.

I see my painting practice as a continuation of the tradition of landscape painting in this area.  Influences ranging from William Selwyn to Peter Prendergast whose paintings are an interpretation and reflection of North Wales.

My approach ranges from plein-air sessions to studio work and embraces an extensive range of materials and techniques. The work fuses classical landscape compositions with abstract expression.  This comes through dynamic mark making and gestures that come naturally from being immersed in the wild, mystic and uncompromising environment of Eryri and the North Wales coast.  My work has been described as evocative and vibrant, conveying a deep connection to the landscape it depicts.
