Biography.
Welsh Artist from the Snowdonia Village of Cwm y Glo, Born in June 1980.
I have sold many drawings and painting over the years, both in galleries throughout Wales and by private commissions, in the UK and abroad to countries such as Canada, Australia and the Netherlands.
Although I have always been in employment, working with young people, communities and within the educational sector, I have remained faithful to my art practice, continuing with drawing and painting when I am able to do so.
