Collection: Rachel Stewart

Mae Rachel yn byw ar dyddyn bychan yn Llysfaen ger Bae Colwyn ac mae wedi bod yn arbrofi gyda gwahanol gyfryngau paent ers pan yn blentyn. Enillodd Ddiploma Cenedlaethol BTEC mewn Celf a Dylunio yng Ngholeg Celf Bangor, lle cafodd ei dysgu gan Lesley Jones a Peter Prendergast. Cyn cael ei thri phlentyn bu’n gweithio ym musnes pensaernïol ei thad gan ddilyn cwrs diploma serameg yng Ngholeg Llandrillo, cyn defnyddio’r cyfrwng yna i wneud gemwaith Raku. Mae hi bellach wedi dychwelyd at arlunio a phaentio.

Mae ei gwaith yn dangos ei chariad at y rhan hyfryd hon o Gymru a gafodd ei feithrin yn ystod llawer o wyliau plentyndod yn gwersylla ar Benrhyn Llŷn. Mae'n mwynhau paentio golygfeydd arfordirol a gwledig gan gynnwys ei phraidd o ddefaid a da byw eraill.

Rachel lives on a small-holding in Llysfaen near Colwyn Bay and has been experimenting with different mediums of paint since she was a child. She gained a BTEC National Diploma in Art and Design at Bangor Art College, where she was taught by Lesley Jones and Peter Prendergast. Before having her three children she worked in her father’s architectural business and undertook a ceramics diploma course at Llandrillo College and used this medium to make Raku jewellery. She has now returned to drawing and painting.

Her work demonstrates her love for this beautiful part of Wales which was nurtured during many childhood camping visits to the Llŷn Peninsula. She enjoys painting coastal and rural scenes including her flock of sheep and other livestock.
