A SERIES of paintings by Maggie Jones, made since she moved to Powys from Cornwall eight years ago, can be seen in the Grain Barn at the Sidney Nolan Trust near Presteigne.
Although she paints mainly from memory these paintings show some of the shifts and changes that have occurred in her work due to the change in environment.
"Working mainly from memory enables me to manipulate the original place to express my experience of it, to exaggerate and improvise," says Maggie. "The artist Barnett Newman wrote succinctly: 'To create a work of art means, to me, to express something that is deep in one. It is an attempt to put down what you really believe and what you really are concerned with.'"
The exhibition runs from Saturday, May 3 to Sunday, May 11. Admission free.
