R.S. Thomas
The poet RS Thomas is celebrated in his native Wales by two Literary Festivals, both based on churches where he served as the parish priest, Eglwysfach and Aberdaron. For the 2019 festivals I produced a set of charcoal drawings illustrating lines from his poetry. Many of the images were based on places in Wales he had known well and which I visited to get a sense of the place to, hopefully, reflect in the artwork. Here is a selection of the drawings.
