Nasera K Hamdan••••••••••••••••••••••••••••t: 01248 372797
Original paintings, prints and original hand drawn and painted cards.
I live in Bangor, North Wales: Where I find the mixture of the mountains, the sea, and the rich history of the area
inspiring and exciting. My work is a response to my own feelings, memories; the contrasting and often breathtaking surroundings, and my passionate love of colours.

I produce mixed media textile wall-pieces, building up images with laid threads, painted fabrics, hand and free machine embroidery. Inspired by ever-changing light and weather on mountain and sea I speak to others through glimpses and windows of what might be. Wind of the spirit blows through all and informs all.

Valerie Land •• ••••••••• ••• • • • •••••••••••• t: 01341 250017
Detailed paintings, executed in gouache and watercolour, portray the play of light on water, on rocks, and sparkling through trees. Valerie’s scenes are typically Welsh, tending to favour the scenes that capture the mood rather than a particular place. All her work is solitary, restful and contemplative.
