Carys Bryn is an artist from the Pwllheli area of the Llŷn Peninsula, bordering on Eifionydd. She comes from a farming background and has spent the last 30 years as an Art Teacher at her local community secondary school, and throughout the devoted years of teaching she's been balancing her own career as an artist herself.
Carys gained a BA Hons degree in Printmaking, but found herself doing all sorts of work despite this! She loved every challenge and aspect of being an artist, from creating models, large murals, logo designing and illustrating books including 'Tecwyn y Tractor'. She started painting in 2008 and was lucky to exhibit in various galleries in Wales and England.
Her paintings vary in style and momentum and can range from gimmicks to atmospheric. Inspirations are mainly from her farming background and the Llyn Peninsula's beautiful scenery. Carys always says that she's looking for 'new recipes' and ideas.
In November 2022 Carys opened her own art center at her home as a new venture after retiring, ‘Lle Art Carys Bryn’, Rhosfawr, Pwllheli. She’s set to host exhibitions, workshops and classes of her own, while also showcasing the talents of other new local artists.
