ELECTED IN 2021
Flora’s imagery springs out of her sense of the mythical and
archetypal elements of landscape, as found in the storytelling
tradition. She is fascinated by how the residue of our childhood
reading affects our collective emotional connection with observed
landscape.
The motif of the transformative quest in medieval romance informs her work with a sense of travelling outwards into the wild forest, and inwards into the mysteries of the self. Her work is steered by the nature of her materials, whether local charcoal, metal plate, wood, or lithographic stone. She also uses divination and ritual walking and enjoys constructing magical events to explore the imagery she is using.
Flora is based in West Wales where she lives on
the edge of the Preseli moors and makes etchings and lithographs. She is
a Fellow of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers and has a Fine Art
MA from Aberystwyth University.
