I studied art in Norfolk, graduating with a diploma in oil painting. I derive the inspiration for much of my work from the magnificence of the land and sea around my home on Ynys Môn. Art is my passion, my joy and my grief. For me, it’s a way to remember … and a way to forget.

For this exhibition, I have explored the rich heritage of the Welsh copper industry and its inextricable links to the coast. I have explored the juxtaposition of stormy, dynamic seas and the restless tranquillity of deep, underground caverns. I shall be expanding this theme for my solo exhibition, ‘Elements’, at Oriel Môn later this year.
