Joy Saunders

Contemporary Welsh artist Joy Saunders embraces a limited palette to refine and capture the range of green and grey tones in the lush Welsh landscape that surrounds and inspires her.

Like the renowned Kyffin Williams and other Welsh artists before her, Joy Saunders instinctively selects and omits details from the scene, creating contemporary, uncluttered acrylic paintings that capture the essence of the Welsh landscape.

Using a palette knife to build textured layers of paint and contrasting them with washes of thinner paint, Joy Saunders creates intrigue and depth in her Welsh landscapes. Bold yet delicate outlines and thoughtful compositions invite viewers to reflect on their own memories of Wales while exploring her interpretation of its countryside.
