Wrth dyfu i fyny ar ymyl coetir hynafol ym Mae Colwyn, gogledd Cymru, roeddwn wedi fy nhrochi mewn synau natur a galwadau anarferol anifeiliaid o’r Sŵ Mynydd gerllaw. Wrth i'r nos ddisgyn, fe wnaeth y tirweddau sain cyntefig hyn sbarduno breuddwydion byw a thanio fy nychymyg, gan adael argraff ddofn a pharhaol ar fy ysbryd creadigol. Mae'r cysylltiad cynnar hwn â'r byd naturiol, wedi'i liwio â dirgelwch a mytholeg, yn parhau i lunio fy ngwaith heddiw.

Growing up on the edge of an ancient woodland in Colwyn Bay, North Wales, I was immersed in the sounds of nature and the otherworldly calls of animals from the nearby Welsh Mountain Zoo. As night fell, these primeval soundscapes sparked vivid dreams and fueled my imagination, leaving a deep and lasting impression on my creative spirit. This early connection to the natural world, tinged with mystery and mythology, continues to shape my work today.
