I was brought up in Wales on the North East boarder between England and Wales to an English speaking family. Welsh was taught in my English language school but Welsh Culture of music and the Eisteddfod still pervaded. Having attended Yale College studying Art and Design then I left Wales to attend Bath Spa University to complete my degree in Graphic Design specialising in Illustration.
After 7 years in Bath, I moved to Vancouver Canada and have been living here for more than 10 years. However my interest in Wales and Welsh culture has only increased, as living in England I questioned how it was different and in Canada I frequently get that question from others. I create my paintings out of my love of the natural world, but also my love of my land, Hen wlad fy nhadau
"Old land of my fathers" and wanting to explore and enrich Welsh visual culture even from afar.
My website shows a variety of my work but will include over time a "Welsh Collection" Where I will work in different mediums exploring different aspects of Welsh culture, including explorations of literature and folklore.
