Judith Stroud is also inspired by the landscape, flora and fauna of Wales, including from the large Brecon Beacons National Park north of Swansea and from beaches and coastal areas around Wales in the south and west. Just as much inspiration is provided by the technique itself and the material on which she processes her impressions from nature. ​
