BA (Hons) Illustration

With this body of work, I intend to bring awareness and positive change to the world. I also want for this body of work to help children. For them to be able to process the emotion of grief and understand that this is a completely normal and vital part of life and growing up.

When it come to my work practices, what I want is for the viewer to gain insight into what I am creating work about and the narratives that I use. My aims for my work is to tell a narrative to the viewer and also to show them a different world from the one that they are used to and to get them involved in the world of art.

I believe that art is vital to the world because it brings people together and creates a sense of community and I hope to bring something new to the art world. I hope that my art can inspire people and interest them to want to pursue art.


Gyda’r corff hwn o waith, rwy’n bwriadu dod ag ymwybyddiaeth a newid cadarnhaol i’r byd. Rydw i am i’r corff hwn o waith helpu plant hefyd. Er mwyn iddynt allu prosesu emosiwn galar a deall bod hyn yn rhan gwbl normal a hanfodol o fywyd a thyfu’n oedolyn.

O ran fy arferion gwaith, fy nod yw i’r gwyliwr gael dealltwriaeth o’r hyn rwy’n creu gwaith yn ei gylch a’r naratifau rwy’n eu defnyddio. Fy nodau ar gyfer fy ngwaith yw adrodd naratif i’r gwyliwr a dangos hefyd fyd gwahanol iddyn nhw i’r un maen nhw’n gyfarwydd ag ef hefyd ac i’w cael i gymryd rhan ym myd celf.

Rwy’n credu bod celf yn hanfodol i’r byd gan ei fod yn dod â phobl at ei gilydd ac yn creu ymdeimlad o gymuned a’m gobaith yw dod â rhywbeth newydd i’r byd celf. Gobeithio y gall fy ngwaith celf ysbrydoli pobl ac ennyn eu diddordeb i fod eisiau ymwneud â chelf.
