I am fascinated by the myths and legends of the British Isles. I am inspired by the folklore and customs of here and Europe and ancient tales from anywhere.
I love the wild woods, craggy coast, distant hills, fair meadows and tumbling streams of these islands and they inspire my work.
I paint stories rather than reality. I often work in miniature, having found my "painting feet" by working for the highly collectible miniature book publisher Lilliput, many years ago. I love the challenge of the small scale. I do venture into the surreal and occasionally create mandalas as well. The joy of Etsy is it supports all sorts of creativity and is a wonderful place for inspiration too.
I am happy to create items along a similar theme to the ones you see here, please contact me if you would like me to do this or if you would like me to create something special for you.
I can also be found at www.celyns.co.uk, where works in progress or other bits and bobs can be viewed.
If you like my work and are interested in purchasing some of it, it is available to buy on my etsy shop
