I have followed Mary's work with interest over a number of years.I have also graduated in art now, and finding my way in the art world slowly. May I say how wonderful her work is, and how inspirational to other Welsh speaking painters such as myself?Her daughter is also a fantastic, musical talent also, however I cannot remember the name she records under. Would you be able to let me know what name she does record under, please?
