CHRISTOPHER T ROBERTS:
I am a realist expressionist – I attempt to make exciting and energetic paintings that depict real subjects such as people, animals, landscape, sea and nature. I am also currently writing and illustrating a children’s fairy tale.
I am a member of Rhyl Create and have paintings on permanent rotational display at the Gallery 36 in Rhyl.
MARTIN JONES:
My name is Martin Jones and I am from Rhyl North Wales. As a young boy I always loved painting, in school I asked what. I wanted to do as a career, I said paint birds and wildlife photography. Up to now I have never had the time due to life’s commitments. Now my children
have grown up, it is time I realised my childhood dreams.
