The Great Atlantic Map Works Gallery

Lynda Jones was born in Sunderland in 1970, settling in Monmouth in the early 1980's, where she has lived ever since. She studied Art Foundation at Newport College of Art & Design, followed by a degree in Visual Art at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth. She worked for a number of years in a non art related business, always painting in her spare time. In 2007 she finally gave up the day job and started painting full time and had her first solo exhibition at The great Atlantic Church Street Gallery in Monmouth in 2009.

Her canvases are mostly depictions of landscapes in the Monmouth area - the final image often bears little relation to the original subject but all have a common starting point - the memory of a place she knows well.
