ABOUT ME
As well as being an artist, I am also a practising Architect in South Wales. I studied architecture at the Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University between 2008 and 2015. I achieved a First Class Honours at BSc level in 2011, a Masters of Architecture in 2013 and gained my Professional Diploma in 2015. In 2012, my work won the Architectural Scholarship in the National Eisteddfod of Wales, which included my first piece of object art.
After a period of living in London and a five month trip travelling through Central America and Mexico, I returned to live in Cardiff in August 2016 and began to develop my career as both a part time Architect and a part time artist. This has been so successful that in May 2019, I was able to pursue my passion further. I became fully self employed as an artist, taking on the occasional architecture commission, whilst tutoring 1st year architecture students at Cardiff University. In June 2019, I was pleased to have been a finalist for the Cardiff Business Awards: Young Business Person of the Year.
I am hugely passionate about animals, wildlife and the environment. I've grown up living with cats, and last year I adopted a retired, rescue greyhound. (Greyhound are like cats that you can walk :) ). I love being outside in nature, and exploring new places! I have always been a collected of items: stones and shells from the beach, local handicrafts from holidays aboard, pretty and colourful objects. This passion has developed into curating these items as a unique way to explore and document a subject visually, hence my love of object art. I enjoy visiting every place that I plan to draw, which has resulted in lots of trips around South Wales in my electric car! Once I have visited the place and taken photos, I produce the original drawing using pen and ink from the comfort of my own home. I then scan and print the drawing here, so I have control over the quality of the finished print.
All of my packaging is now biodegradable and compostable. Any bubble wrap or plastic I do use has been reused from parcels that are sent to me!
I like to consider myself as a modern and contemporary Welsh artist, producing innovative, unique and personal artwork. I absolutely love what I do and love sharing it with people, so ... if you are interested in any of the pieces shown, or would like to commission a new, personalised piece, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
