Contemporary Welsh artist Joy Saunders revels in the challenge of using a restricted palette to help her hone in on, and capture, the array of green and grey tones found in the lush Welsh landscape that surrounds and inspires her. Like the famed Kyffin Williams, and other Welsh artists who have come before her, Joy Saunders has the intuitive ability to select and omit information from the scene before her in order to compose contemporary unfussy acrylic paintings that still manage to reflect the essence of the Welsh landscape they depict.

Painting with texture, building paint layers with a palette knife and creating contrast with sweeping layers of thinner paint, Joy Saunders creates intrigue and depth within her Welsh Landscape paintings. Engaging the viewer with her bold yet delicate outlines and intelligent composition, Joy Saunders art and paintings invite viewers to contemplate their own memories of the beautiful Welsh landscape whilst delving into her own interpretation of the Welsh countryside.
