Details
My paintings begin with sketching from the local landscape and developing imagery in the studio that reflects this. I often include a cottage that is a metaphor for home and an idealised memory of past homes in the hills of Wales. I love colour and the mood that it creates, so my palette is more about emotion than reality.
It is one of many identities, mother, painter, teacher, illustrator, printmaker, gardener and more. It is a challenge and therapy, pain and pleasure.
I am Maggy Roberts, and I live and work here in Clyro a mile from Hay on Wye. I paint the local landscape, draw from life in hay Caste make prints about local wildlife.
I taught at FE, and Degree level for 35 years in the areas of Wildlife illustration, Children's illustration and painting. I tutor online courses in Illustration and have illustrated books for children.
