The Valley That Watches 1/30

Spirit Level 1/30
There is Light at the End of the Road 1/60
The project became a coffee table book which was launched alongside a huge exhibition of limited edition prints at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff, by Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas AM. There then followed a more intimate exhibition at the Gwynedd Museum & Gallery in Bangor.

Just a week ago Nant Gwrtheyrn who have almost finished the complete refurbishment of the village interiors, have purchased a set of my original edition prints for permanent display within the redecorated cottages.

Basking in Winter Sun 1/60
If any of you are able to visit, you will not only be able to enjoy delicious home cooking as always, but can now enjoy alcoholic beverages from their striking new bar area and function room, whilst standing on decking overlooking a breathtaking vista across the Irish Sea.
