Kathy Thomson

Kathy’s paintings are inspired by the mountain, moor, ancient stones, hill forts and carns, tracks, valleys and coastal landscapes of North Pembrokeshire where she lives.

“Painting for me, is pleasure, joy, energy, struggle, battle, doing and undoing”.

They are created in the studio from memories and imagination, and from observational drawings made when out walking the land and by the coast.

“I paint mostly in oils, beginning with thin layers which are gradually built up over several days. I often re-work and re-visit images. I like to wrestle with ideas, slowly revealing the elements that hold everything together”.
