Can anyone identify this Welsh artist/illustrator?

It's a long shot but I'm hoping that someone will be able to identify my much loved and very sunlight faded prints so I can replace them with unfaded versions! They were purchased in a Celtic museum in Wales about 20 years ago. In case it's not clear from the photos they depict the seasons with name of the season in Welsh. The artist's initials are M P I think and the originals were from the 80s. The museum doesn't exist anymore so I can't ask them and I've googled as much as I can, also tried a reverse image search but nothing. I'm hoping someone has the same prints and knows more about them or has maybe seen them elsewhere. If I had the artist's name I'm confident I could find them online so maybe someone knows of the artist? Help me Mumsnet, you're my only hope!

Not much help sorry, but, That signed bit looks more MJP or MJD to me rather than just MP.

Maybe John Piper? He created tapestries and stained glass in hereford cathedral around the same sort of time, looks vaguely similar

Could it be Margaret D Jones - Welsh illustrator? There's not a about lot of her on the internet - you'll have to dig deep to confirm but some of her work looks v similar to your pics. Her work is very 'Celtic' in style and the books she illustrates are mainly those of Welsh folk tales

Alan Lee?
Brian Froud?

@zigzag12 you've done it! Thank you so much! And thank you to everyone that replied. I haven't found the actual prints yet but it looks like she did a series based on the months of the year and the signature is the same Grin

I have the very same prints purchased from the Ceredigion Museum in Aberystwyth about 15 years ago.
