Mixed Media Artist at DAC

About

I am a mixed media, neuro diverse artist living in Cwmbran Gwent. I trained as a Biomedical Scientist on leaving school but turned to art later in life. This led me on to completing a National Diploma in Graphic Design at Pontypool Tertiary College and then a BA(Hons) in Art Practice at the University of South Wales in Pontypridd.
My artwork is often surreal in nature having evolved from my feelings and dreams. It has incorporated humour, sculpture, murals, animation, the exploration of alternative realities and recently the illustration of a poetry book with an accompanying Exhibition of the artwork. I took part in Tom Croft’s Portraits for Heroes Exhibition with an oil painting of an ICU nurse from Oxford and her dog. Over the pandemic I have been taking online Graphic novel courses with The Royal Drawing School in London.
I am an active member and supporter of Disability Arts Cymru. My practice is mainly oil painting and drawing at the moment. I would be happy to collaborate.
