Collection: Sarah Lees

Ganed Sarah yn Coventry yn 1962 ac ymgartrefodd yn Sir Gaerfyrddin lle enillodd radd BA mewn Celfyddyd Gain ac yna radd MA gydag Anrhydedd. Mae nawr yn Arweinydd Cwrs Lefel 1 Celf Gain yng Ngholeg Celf Caerfyrddin tra’n parhau i baentio ac arddangos. Roedd yn gyd-enillydd Gwobr Agored Gymdeithas Gelf Abergwaun yn 2018 a chafodd Ganmoliaeth Uchel yn Arddangosfa Agored Oriel Bevan Jones yng Ngwanwyn 2019.

Caiff ei gwaith ei arddangos mewn orielau drwy Gymru a Lloegr ac mae ei gwaith mewn nifer o gasgliadau preifat.

Gyda diddordeb brwd mewn bywyd gwyllt a’r byd naturiol nid yw’n syndod fod ei chorff mwyaf diweddar o waith yn canolbwyntio ar gefn gwlad, gan roi sylw arbennig i iaith weledol coed a gwrychoedd. Mae’n dal rhythm a dynameg byd natur yn ei phaentiadau ond mae hefyd iddynt ryw naws arall-fydol hudolus.

Born in Coventry in 1962, Sarah settled in Carmarthenshire where she gained a BA in Fine Art followed by an MA with Distinction. She is now Course Leader for Level 1 Art and Design at Carmarthen School of Art whilst continuing to paint and exhibit. She was Joint Prizewinner of the Fishguard Arts Society Open in 2018 and Highly Commended in the Oriel Bevan Jones Open in the spring of 2019.

Sarah currently shows work in numerous galleries in England and Wales and has paintings in various private collections. 

With a keen interest in wildlife and the natural world it is no surprise that her latest body of work focuses on the countryside, particularly in relation to the visual language of trees and hedgerows. She captures the rhythm and dynamism of nature in her paintings whilst they also posses an other-worldly dreamlike feel.
