I’m doing a short residency at the lovely Galerie Simpson on Swansea’s High Street and I’m working on something very new and out of my comfort zone……

I’ve been incorporating text into my work on and off for some years – I’m experimenting with some new pens, Uni Pen Fine Line. Looking good. I need pens to be waterproof and lightfast as well as being good to draw with.
I’m also continuing my “en plein air” journey of discovery with prehistorian Dewi Bowen and filmmaker Melvyn Williams as we travel along the route of the legendary Boar Hunt, Y Twrch Trwyth, from the story of Culhwch and Olwen in the Mabinogion, the book of Welsh mythology, researching, filming and drawing the ancient stone monuments along the way.

There’s more of my art to be seen in my online Gallery in Artfinder, please click on the image below to take a look. Thank you.

I wish I had nice writing… I’ve given up writing long hand except when i actually have to as i just can’t read what I’ve written… and i wish i was better at drawing because i love the mix of drawings and writing… oh well… I’ll just enjoy yours!
Thank you, Lois. My handwriting is awful but I make a huge effort when I use it in art and I use the best pens and paper which helps enormously 😀
