<p>Mary Lloyd Jones is a painter who uses abstraction to explore the landscape through memory, culture and identity. Her work expresses the Welsh idea of cynefin – a sense of belonging and attachment to a particular place. Yr Ysgwrn is named after the farm where the poet Hedd Wyn (1887-1917) grew up prior to being killed in the first World War. He was posthumously awarded the Chair at the 1917 National Eisteddfod.</p>
