Artist and contestant Judy Roberts said: “Every two years we are lucky enough that the gallery in Llangefni allows us amateur artists use the main, big room as an exhibition room.

“There were about six or seven different art clubs in Anglesey, all invited to submit five pieces of work.

“I think it’s hugely important, it gives everyone an incentive to work towards – it’s hugely rewarding to see your own work up there in a big gallery, and of course most of the work is for sale.”
