Llandudno Library is currently home to a truly unique art exhibition: Emerging Woman Art Journey.
Visiting the exhibition of work created by residents of Cartrefi Conwy, Janet Finch-Saunders MS, got to hear the stories of local residents who started with blank canvases and finished with local masterpieces.
The display is the culmination of a project which has seen Cartrefi Conwy cooperates with an artist, Lisa Lochhead, to give individuals who have faced a tough time an opportunity to shine.
Commenting after visit the exhibition, Janet said:
“It is incredible how people who have suffered with serious health complaints have been able to change their lives massively thanks to the sessions hosted by Cartrefi Conwy and Lisa Lochhead.
“Getting to see the artwork first hand, and speak to the artists, really helped me to see how creative activities unlock people’s potential.
“Each lady should be proud of the masterpieces they have created. In fact, there is a lesson for us all: if you are feeling low at any point, it is astonishing the positive impact putting pen to paper, quill to ink, or colour to canvas can have!”.

Ar hyn o bryd mae Llyfrgell Llandudno yn gartref i arddangosfa gelf wirioneddol unigryw: Emerging Woman Art Journey.
Wrth ymweld â'r arddangosfa o waith a grëwyd gan drigolion Cartrefi Conwy, clywodd Janet Finch-Saunders AS am straeon y trigolion a ddechreuodd gyda chynfasau gwag ac a orffennodd gyda campweithiau lleol.
Mae'r arddangosfa yn benllanw prosiect lle bu Cartrefi Conwy yn cydweithio ag artist, Lisa Lochhead, er mwyn rhoi cyfle i unigolion ddisgleirio ar ôl bod drwy gyfnod anodd.
Ar ôl ymweld â'r arddangosfa, dywedodd Janet:
“Mae'n anhygoel sut mae pobl sydd wedi dioddef gyda chwynion iechyd difrifol wedi gallu newid eu bywydau yn aruthrol diolch i sesiynau Cartrefi Conwy a Lisa Lochhead.
“Roedd cael gweld y gwaith celf â'm llygaid fy hun, a siarad â'r artistiaid, wir wedi fy helpu i weld sut mae gweithgareddau creadigol yn datgloi potensial pobl.
“Dylai pob dynes fod yn falch o'r campweithiau maen nhw wedi'u creu. Yn wir, mae gwers i bob un ohonom: os ydych chi'n teimlo'n isel unrhyw bryd, mae'n syfrdanol yr effaith gadarnhaol y gall rhoi pin ar bapur neu liw ar ganfas ei chael!”.
