Painting has always been an interest of Gwyneth's but in the early years of her marriage most of her time was consumed by a DIY business which she ran in Holyhead with her husband. She began to spend more time painting when her husband retired; first as a hobby but soon more seriously as friends and family began asking for her paintings. She joined the Anglesey Craft Guild and was invited to the Anglesey Show, to which she has been returning every year. She also exhibits and sells at the Beaumaris Festival, the Craft Guild shop in Llanddeusant, the Ucheldre Centre in Holyhead and in Trearddur Bay.

About two years after starting out, the painting that was perhaps the most significant turning point in her career was a 'three-in-one' of St. Seriol's Church, the Old Convent and Stanley Hospital; all buildings in Holyhead which have now been pulled down. This sold, and is still selling, exceptionally well. It's purchasers include the Kinnocks and Lord Cledwyn. Gwyneth has discovered that paintings of buildings no longer existing are generally popular; another example of this is her painting of the small fishermen's cottages that used to be in Holyhead harbour. Also popular is her design of 'three-in-one' paintings, which often sell to local people who have moved away and want a reminder of home; they have subsequently gone all over the world.

When at home, Gwyneth works from a light and airy studio at the top of her house, with a view out to Holyhead harbour. Her materials are laid out meticulously and blank, bordered canvasses are stacked ready and waiting. Over the last two months Gwyneth has produced, amazingly, some 30 landscape paintings in preparation for her exhibition to be held at the Ucheldre Centre entitled 'A Welsh Palette'. When the weather is good she prefers to begin the paintings outside and then put the finishing touches to them at home in the studio. She tends to chose clear days if possible when she can paint with her favourite palette of bright, light colours.

Gwyneth is happiest when out painting with friends or when her husband accompanies her. Her painting companions are often from the art club to which she belongs; a group of local artists who meet once a week to share their interest. When the weather isn't fine enough to go out, they meet in the O'Toole Centre in Holyhead. Each year they organise a group painting trip in order to experience and draw inspiration from fresh, contrasting landscapes, such as the Algarve in Portugal, which they recently visited in Spring 1998.

Previous exhibitions have been held at Llys Llewellyn, Aberfraw and Holyhead Library. Her work is also displayed in the shop at Oriel Ynys Môn, one has been bought by the Heritage Department and four have recently been accepted by a prestigious biannual art festival. All the traditional wood framing is done from a workshop behind the house by Gwyneth, with valued help from her husband. As a result of people's interest in the frames, Gwyneth has turned the workshop into an established framing business.

Gwyneth likes to think that her paintings are constantly changing and, currently, she is moving away from the focus on detail of her early paintings towards a more conscious emphasis on atmosphere. Although it is her landscapes and buildings that tend to be seen by the general public, she receives regular commissions for portraits and it is these which she most enjoys painting.
