Cloudburst over Ynys Enlli By Rachel Porter

Artist statement

I have always drawn inspiration from the natural world.

I have been fortunate to live in very beautiful and remote areas, having spent the first half of my life in Snowdonia, and later moving to Ynys Enlli (Bardsey Island), where I lived from the age 13.

This enabled me to pursue my love of drawing wildlife and I spent much of my time outside, observing and painting,; seals, seabirds, seascapes, shorelines; later developing an interest in moths, butterflies and flowers.
