Originally from Leicestershire, and having studied art in school, Gwyn has spent most of her life in North Wales and currently lives on Anglesey. An unexpected diagnosis of serious illness in 2015 prompted her to return to art after a prolonged break. From early beginnings in wildlife portraiture her journey has brought her to a place where she can finally express herself freely rather than simply replicating what she sees. This creative outlet has proved to be an essential coping mechanism.

Gwyn’s art is driven by a lifelong passion for the natural environment. She draws inspiration from the places she loves, both real or imagined, and her predilection for landscapes untainted by human interference is very evident.  A recurring theme is that of trees. Trees are possessed of the enviable ability to survive even in the most adverse conditions, often thriving against all odds. In a sense that mirrors Gwyn’s own life, constrained as it is by painful illness. Creating art is the vital key to her mental wellbeing and her hope is that through her paintings others will be able to experience some of those primal emotions she experiences when she feels at one with herself, her art and her environment.
