Alan Young studied at the Royal College of Art, and while a student in the 1960's, travelled each summer to make drawings and paintings in the border country of Powys and Herefordshire. Over the last twenty years he has returned frequently to the Brecon Beacons and has exhibited his work at a number of Welsh galleries, including the Kilvert Gallery, Clyro, in a two man show with Robert Macdonald. One of his watercolours has been purchased by the National Library of Wales.
A recent solo exhibition at the Coningsby Gallery London, concentrated on his response to landscape in Finland and included an artist's book of his translations of the poetry of the Finnish modernist, Edith Sodergran, illustrated with his prints. A selection of these was published in the London magazine, Ambit. An Arts and Humanities Research Board award provided funds for this project.
