My passions, loves and hates...in art

IAM a young artist from a quiet village in the mountains above Bethesda.

My artwork expresses my passions in life, my loves and my hates. Twinkle & Gloom touches upon many themes including femininity, body image, childhood memories and fears.

I like to create a world, the world is pink and lovely but there is darkness there too, it can be quite morbid at times.

There is a lot of humour hidden in my pieces too, my girls are always a little bit miserable, but it’s all tongue in cheek, I think you have to be on the same wavelength to find the laughs in there.

In some ways I also think of Twinkle & Gloom as a brand, I create jewellery and other items from the images I create.

Most recently I have been creating small-scale diorama pieces, tiny worlds encapsulated in pendants. I love creating these miniscule pieces because they feel so precious.

Creativity has always been in my blood; art was my favourite class at school, and I chose to continue studying Art and Design at Coleg Menai.

I studied there for four years before braving the world of self-employment. My theory was the sooner I start the more time I have to achieve my dream.

My artwork has been lucky enough to travel to London in group college exhibitions as well as local exhibitions, it’s been featured on S4C in 2013 and 2014, and more recently my artwork has been featured in a collectors edition of Alice in Wonderland.
