Mary Lloyd Jones

  • Works

  • Biography

We are particularly pleased to have a considerable number of works by Dr Mary Lloyd Jones, one of Wales’ most popular and established artists. Born in Devil’s Bridge in 1934, she trained at Cardiff College of Art and is inspired by the Welsh landscape, history and culture, her bold expressionist paintings are vibrant and full of rich colour.

Mary says of her work: "My aim is that my work should reflect my relationship with the land, an awareness of history, and the treasures of our literary and oral traditions. I search for devices that will enable me to create multilayered images. This has led to my involvement with the beginnings of language, early man-made marks and the Ogham and Bardic alphabets".

Mary has exhibited her work regularly since the mid-1960s in Wales, other parts of the UK and internationally. She was one of three artists selected to take part in a touring exhibition of four cities in China in the spring of 2009, and was invited to take part in the Wales' Smithsonian Festival in Washington DC in the summer of 2009.

Mary is an Honorary Fellow of Trinity College, Carmarthen and University of Aberystwyth, and holds an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Wales, Cardiff. She is a Fellow of the Learned Society of Wales. As an Artist-in-Residence she has worked for periods in Scotland, Ireland, United States, India, Italy, Spain and France.
