About the artist
(The text below appears on the back of the greeting card)
GLYNN THOMAS RE (b. 1946)
 GLYNN THOMAS was born in Cambridge 1946. He studied at the Cambridge School of Art and then, for some twelve years, taught printmaking at the Ipswich School of Art. He is now a full-time artist living in Suffolk. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers and his work has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the country. Perhaps the most striking feature of his style is his impatient eagerness to embrace every feature of his subject even if this means defying visual convention. As Nicholas Butler has written, 'The perspective is cockeyed, not a few of the buildings are lying on their sides in their eagerness to be included, but there, in a single, friendly print, is the essence of the place.'
His etching of Bramfield, a Suffolk village which lies between Westleton and Halesworth, is a perfect example of this. The fourteenth-century church, with its unique, detached, twelfth-century round tower, is shown nestling in friendly proximity to the local pub and dining place, the Queen’s Head, while a row of Bramfield houses has been turned completely upside down.
