FFION GWYN

I am a mother, artist and teacher based on the Llyn Peninsular in North Wales. I have been illustrating for 5 years basing my designs on the urge to discover the bilingual terms for flora and fauna of mainly native species found in my local area.

I am currently working on a collection called ‘Series Wales’ in inks, they have some qualities similar to Victorian book illustrations and scientific drawings.

I enjoy documenting my beautiful area, painting on found objects, this became a very uplifting and valuable activity during lockdown. I also enjoy collaborating with others in creative community projects, which prove very beneficial to strengthen the sense of belonging and connecting with others.

Getting involved with this project gave me a fascinating insight into the array of species as well as a greater appreciation of other artist interpretations in different mediums. It has been an honour to take part.
