Mae fy ymarfer creadigol wedi’i ysbrydoli gan natur a’m hamgylchedd uniongyrchol. 
Gan dynnu ysbrydoliaeth o’m cartref ym Mhen Llŷn, rwy’n ymateb i arfordir gwyrdd y rhanbarth ac i rinweddau cynnil, newidiol golygfeydd bob dydd. Mae fy nhreftadaeth Gymreig yn chwarae rhan bwysig gan lunio fy nghysylltiad gyda lle a thirwedd.
Rwy’n fyfyrwraig ‘BA Fine Art Painting’ yn Brighton, gyda diddordeb yn y byd paentio mynegianol a sut y gellir cynrychioli tirwedd lleol Gogledd Cymru. Trwy baentio cyfoes, rwy’n archwilio ac ail-ddychmygu’r tirwedd wrth addasu i amgylcheddau sy’n newid. Rwy’n gweithio’n bennaf gydag olew, gan ddefnyddio gwead i gyfleu’r emosiynau a’r teimladau rwy’n eu profi o fewn y tirwedd. Yn ogystal â hyn, dwi’n defnyddio siarcol i ddatblygu syniadau ac i greu ymdeimlad o awyrgylch dwys yn fy ngwaith.

My creative practice is inspired by nature and my immediate surroundings. 
Drawing inspiration from my home on Pen Llŷn, I respond to the green coast of the region and to the subtle, changing qualities of everyday scenery. My Welsh heritage plays an important role shaping my relationship with place and landscape.
I am a 'BA Fine Art Painting' student in Brighton, with an interest in the world of expressive painting and how the local landscape of North Wales can be represented. Through contemporary painting, I explore and re-imagine the landscape while adapting to changing environments. I work mainly with oil, using texture to convey the emotions and feelings I experience within the landscape. In addition to this, I use charcoal to develop ideas and to create a sense of intense atmosphere in my work.
