"Playing with the Mind"

Glyn was born in 1980 and has lived in Cwm-Y-Glo all of his life, except for the three years spent away at the University of Gloucester in Cheltenham. Spending time away from his home made him realise how much this magnificent landscape that we live in meant to him. Since returning home from college, all Glynn wanted to do is draw and paint the 'Snowdonia sublime'.

I enjoy the challenge of drawing and painting the North Wales landscape. The land is forever changing. The mountains have become greener and softer, while the slate quarries are been taken over by the grass and trees. My work is not only about capturing a moment in time, but also about making people interested in our land, and making people want to explore the great outdoors.

Ers fy ngenedigaeth yn Mehefin 1980, ar wahan i dair blynedd yn astudio ym mhrifysgol yn Cheltenham, yr ydwyf wedi byw yng Nghwm- y-Glo. Yn ystod fy mlynyddoedd oddi gartref fe sylweddolais gymaint oedd y tirlun a’r golygfeydd yn ei feddwl i mi, ac ers dychwelyd or coleg, yr oll sydd arnaf eisiau ei wneud yw darlunio ac arlunio yn Eryri.

Rwy’n hoffi arlunio y tirlun a’r golygfeydd oherwydd ei bod yn newid yn gyson. Mae’r mynyddoedd yn fwy gwyrdd ac mae’r ardaloedd llechi yn raddol yn dod yn fwy coediog. Nid yn unig cofnodi cyfnod mewn amser mae fy arlunio ond y mae hefyd yn creu diddordeb ac ennyn pobl i fwynhau yr ardal brydferth yma.

Glynn's paintings are about using different colour combinations, creating different shapes and forms.

I find myself being influenced and inspired by the landscape that I have grown up with, and not only do I enjoy painting it, but also walking this historic land with friends and family. My work is simply my own interpretation of the Welsh landscape.
