Maent yn deillio o ysbryd lle ac o’ch cof am fannau a phobl,eu pensaernïaeth a’u tirwedd,y sylwyd yn fanwl iawn arnynt. Mae’r gwaith celf a gynhyrchaf yn rhedeg ochr yn ochr â’m cyhoeddiadau ar hanes celf. Caiff syniadau eu perthnasu i dechnegau penodol,yn cynnwys tynnu llun a pheintio,creu printiau a ffotograffiaeth,ar ffurf haniaethol a chynrychiadol,a chan gynnwys gwaith ffigurol.
