When art unlocks the door of peace, love and kindness, it will stand the test of time. Whenever and wherever seeds of peace are sown, goodness and harmony will follow.

Glyn has a unique way of teaching art through understanding the techniques of other artists as well as drawing from his own experience. He is extremely knowledgeable both about all aspects of art as well as its considerable history. Glyn is also a talented critic and extremely helpful and generous when commenting on our work. I have learned a great deal from him through our online sessions and I really look forward to them. They are friendly, inspirational and interesting. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Between the Lines focuses on the contribution individuals make to achieve the community they wish to live in. It offers an insight into what motivates people who actively contribute to the well being of their community and how their actions help and inspire others. It shines a light on who these people are and what they value.
Through the combined mediums of pencil drawings, black and white film photographs and written reflections a unique record of community life in Wales and the U.K. is being documented.
Between the Lines is clearly revealing that we are all interconnected; bonded by our community, our contribution and our shared humanity.

This ongoing project began on 1.1.15. One artwork has been made every day since that date. There are now over 3000.
The piece explores the alchemy of time its multi dimension character and the precious nature of the 'moment'.
Although the viewer and artist ‘lived through’ the same time frame from January 2015 to the present, they are now able to view history as a series of parallel days, jumping from one day to the next in any order they prefer as if they were time travelling! It also explores the idea of ‘active space’- the time one ‘sleeps’ and carries out other activities between the creation of the component images of the artwork.
The artworks are actually 'moment markers'.
It is an attempt to offer a definition of this ‘active space’ through the combination of imagery shown and consequently reveal what cannot be seen by the eye alone.
The FriendshipTree Festival began on 1st May 2010 as an artwork focused on 'Community' and 'Nature'. It was accompanied by an ephemeral, delicate, floating sculpture called Rainbow Bridge. The two pieces represented a journey to something nurturing and uplifting. During the years that have passed our community and many visitors have added to it,creating the ever changing piece you see today. Every year we 'recharge' the artwork with a festival celebrating Peace, Love, Friendship and Nature, a universal message of hope that has touched and transformed many thousands of people's lives, often in subtle and sensitive ways. Thank you to all those who have and continue to participate in this ever growing, evergreen artwork, the contribution you make is really appreciated.
