A selection of postcards I made for Amnesty's Write for Rights campaign in December. They go directly to prisoners of conscience - people who are imprisoned or threatened for defending human rights or the environment; also to individuals suffering displacement, where climate change has forced them to leave their land after losing their home, livelihood and ability to grow food.

Happy New Year!
Blwyddyn newydd dda!
¡Feliz año nuevo!

I was very happy to have these two paintings included in the event "Place and Belonging" held by Traumatic Stress Wales in Theatr Clwyd, Mold, Flintshire. The paintings were a perfect fit for the event. The first one is of Yr Eifl hill, a stone's throw from where I live, and the second is of a wild pinewood on the east coast of Spain. Both places are very special and hold meaning for me.

Detail from a recent experimental drawing on board - watercolour paint on oil mix paint ground.

This autumn I've been watching and waiting for leaves to fall into the stream, to watch them sail downstream.

A soft pastel drawing I made recently in Boduan Sanctuary, which is both a wood and burial ground. 

In this peaceful wood by the road I found one of the older trees, a pine, and I sat down to draw while a robin befriended me. The drawing wasn't my best, but when I held it up to the light, shadows worked like magic to echo the melancholic atmosphere of the place and reminded me of the shadow theatre of the past.

Watercolour pencil drawing from one of several walks over the summer. 

This is the "tripod tree", my name for a sycamore in my neighbourhood.

It is hollowed inside, supported by its three "legs" of the bark that remains.
