Fine Art

My work is connected to Wales and the endlessly inspiring coastal landscape where I live.  Since graduating art school in 2012 (BA Hons/Fine Art/Printmaking) I have moved from Cardiff to the Ceredigion coast and set up an Art Studio on the outskirts of Llangrannog and have now been a full time Artist since 2018.  I specialise in Printmaking and Acrylic painting, Print techniques include Collagraph, etching, mono-print and drypoint printing.

My paintings are less about a particular place or view and more about the atmosphere, stories, textures and patterns of my coastal home.  Fascinated by ancient Welsh legends, primarily Cantre'r Gwaelod, my paintings convey a sense of the mysterious world that once existed here and it’s connection to the world above.  Each painting is created with many layers of acrylic paint, mixed media, and time.
