Helen Job is based in Peniel, Denbigh. She paints and draws using a variety of mediums – pencil, acrylic, water colour, oil and wax on paper and canvas. She considers her work to be abstract even when depicting detailed studies of natural objects or what appear to be landscapes. Her approach and techniques are the same.
She says:
“The advantage of looking at purely abstract work is that it gives the viewer the chance to interpret the image as it relates to them.”
This exhibition is purely abstract and is about the internal landscape, one that we might all recognise as existing within us, our personal space, made in our own imagination. Some of the work is related to writings by herself and her partner, Rajan Madhok and others depict the physical sensations whilst undergoing treatment for breast cancer.

The Rally attracts competitors from all over the UK and this year saw 90 crews in cars covering tests all over North Wales and the 116 Map. Along with joint sponsor North Wales Honda the Club has taken the opportunity to raise funds for The North Wales Cancer Appeal, now the Club’s nominated Charity and this year donated a cheque for £1,000.00.
The four runners who tackled this year’s Marathon have absolutely smashed previous totals with a massive £20.381.11 added to the NWCA funds. All four runners did spectacularly well first finishing the gruelling 26 mile course in very hot conditions and their fundraising efforts were amazing. Pictured are the runners at the Finish and we would like to thank them all for their valuable contribution to the North Wales Cancer Appeal. |
2018 Marathon Fundraising
The ‘Pink Perils’ as they are now affectionately known all have their own motivations for wanting to run the Marathon and raise money for the Appeal, but the one thing they do have in common is they are all determined to finish and raise as much money as possible.

10/04/2017 - London Marathon 2017 – A show of force from the female contingent of Betsi Cadwalder University Health Board Staff is set to conquer the challenge of completing the London Marathon and at the same time raising much needed funds for The North Wales Cancer Appeal.The London Marathon has played an important role in this area of achievement as the Ron & Margaret Smith appeal Committee had the foresight to engage in securing London Marathon Gold Bond status some years ago and now enjoys the benefit of being able to purchase places for runners to raise funds for The Appeal.
To date the London Marathon fundraising has contributed over £60,000 to the Appeal and continues to be an important source of funding. Long may a line of hardy individuals be queuing up, wanting to pound the pavements through those long winter months.
