Artist: Jean Napier

Artist’s Statement

I specialise in creative landscape photography and the magnificent scenery of the Snowdonia National Park where I live is the main inspiration for my work.

Man’s influences on the landscape are a recurring theme in my exhibitions, images and books. I enjoy exploring the Welsh landscape and the camera helps me to select elements that embody the experience of being ‘in the ‘place’.

My primary motivation as a photographer is to promote appreciation of the versatility and creativity of photography as an art form - photography can be more than just a method of ‘recording’ moments.

I also believe passionately in ‘art-for-all’, giving everyone who wishes to, the opportunity of seeing their work displayed in a public space and I run art projects and workshops with people of all ages and abilities throughout the UK.
