I have been painting in watercolour, acrylics and oils for many years.

During the lockdown I decided to experiment with different mediums, and started using welsh wool and sewing details to my images.

The landscape of North Wales is an inspiration for my work and using wool is like using a part of the landscape to create a picture.

My passion for photography began at an early age (a long time ago!), when I was given a Kodak Electralite 10 camera on my 10th birthday. I soon progressed to an Olympus AF-10 35mm compact camera, and would eagerly look forward for the film being developed and delivered!

Undoubtedly, the highlight of my photography journey was winning the Landscape Photographer Award 2022 in the British Photography Awards, with my photo of Tryfan, which is on display here. I was also commended in the Landscape Photographer of the Year competition in the same year. My photographs have also been illustrated in various magazines including Digital Photography Magazine, Country Life Magazine, Golwg, and on the front cover of the Sunday Times magazine.

My true passion is photographing landscapes. I live in a beautiful part of North Wales, and this gives me the opportunity to photograph the most amazing landscapes. From the awe-inspiring mountains and valleys of Eryri (Snowdonia), to the rugged coastlines of Gwynedd and Anglesey, I am truly spoilt for choice!

Judith Donaghy

Born in the charming town of Frodsham, Cheshire, I initially trained as a textile designer before my passion led me to the world of fine art. My semi-abstract oil paintings, inspired by coastlines, countryside, and flowers, vividly express my deep love for nature, colour, and texture.

I create from a blend of memory and sketches, focusing on subjects that resonate with universal experiences. While I rarely paint en plein air, I prefer to capture mental snapshots of my subjects, returning to my studio to distil these impressions into unique and evocative artistic interpretations, using a personally chosen colour palette. The only exception is my floral paintings, which I always paint from life, surrounding myself with an array of blooms in various jars and vases.

This came about after the sad loss of my son when I was given so many beautiful flowers by kind friends and family. Not wanting to lose these flowers I began to paint them and after an initial tentative post on social media was amazed at the positive response. After 6 years I am still enjoying painting flowers in season which are sold through galleries in Wales and England.

North Wales, particularly Anglesey, is a constant source of inspiration for me. The ever-changing beaches, sea, sky, and rugged landscape offer endless exploration and are a recurring theme in my paintings. I hope that my art brings joy and a sense of well-being to those who view it.
