Nant y Rhaeadr Ink, acrylic and conte on paper £600 SOLD |
“Recording the upper reaches of the Tywi valley has revealed a contrasting landscape to that of my first impression. One of obscured views and seemingly forgotten places that conjure up a childlike desire to explore and discover. It is an intricate landscape of streams, hedgerows and woodland; immersed in an expanse of hillsides and pasture. Nik Pollard studied at the Royal College of Art. He has been invited to participate on a number of international projects and has received awards for his work. He is a published author and illustrator of children’s picture books and exhibits throughout the UK. A full C.V. can be found at the bottom of this page. |
