✨ OLWYN PRITCHARD ✨

Mae ysgythriadau Olwyn Pritchard yn ein gwahodd i weld tirwedd Cymru mewn ffordd newydd — fel lle sy’n llawn presenoldeb, cof a straeon hynafol sydd eto i’w hadrodd. Wedi ei hysbrydoli gan archeoleg, myth a’r dirwedd fegalithaidd, mae ei gwaith yn archwilio’r berthynas rhwng pobl a’r cerrig sydd wedi sefyll yn dawel yn y tir ers miloedd o flynyddoedd.

Fel archeolegydd ac awdur ar y cyd gyda Dewi Bowen ar y llyfr *Hunting the Wild Megalith*, mae Olwyn wedi treulio blynyddoedd yn olrhain meini hirion, cromlechi a henebion cynhanesyddol ar draws Cymru. Yn y llyfr, mae’r megalithau yn cael eu trin bron fel rhywogaeth wyllt i’w holrhain drwy’r tirwedd — syniad sy’n rhedeg hefyd drwy ei gwaith celf. Mae ei hysgythriadau’n llawn manylder, dirgelwch a rhyfeddod, gan ddod â’r cerrig hynafol hyn yn fyw fel pe baent yn gymeriadau sy’n perthyn i’r tir ei hun.

Olwyn Pritchard’s etchings invite us to see the Welsh landscape afresh — as a place alive with presence, memory and ancient stories waiting to be rediscovered. Inspired by archaeology, myth and megalithic landscapes, her work explores the relationship between people and the stones that have stood quietly in the land for thousands of years.

As an archaeologist and co-author, alongside Dewi Bowen, of *Hunting the Wild Megalith*, Olwyn has spent years tracing standing stones, cromlechs and prehistoric monuments across Wales. In the book, megaliths are treated almost as a wild species to be tracked through the landscape — an idea that also runs through her artwork. Her etchings are rich in detail, mystery and wonder, bringing these ancient stones to life as though they are characters belonging to the landscape itself.

✨ ROBIN DALE-THOMAS ✨

O’i stiwdio grochenwaith ym Mynachlog-ddu, yng nghanol Bryniau’r Preseli, mae Robin Dale-Thomas yn creu crochenwaith sy’n adlewyrchu cysylltiad dwfn â deunyddiau naturiol, crefft draddodiadol a harddwch ffurfiau syml. Ar ôl astudio cerameg yn Goldsmiths ac yna treulio cyfnod yn Japan yn gweithio gyda chrochenwyr a dysgu caligraffi, mae ei waith yn cyfuno dylanwadau o grefft Siapaneaidd a thraddodiadau crochenwaith Ewropeaidd.

Mae ei lestri carreg a’i wydreddau cyfoethog yn llawn gwead, cymeriad a thawelwch. Gan weithio gyda pharch mawr at y broses a’r deunydd crai, mae Robin yn creu darnau sy’n teimlo’n ymarferol ac yn gerfluniol ar yr un pryd — wedi eu siapio’n araf gan law fedrus ac wedi eu gwreiddio’n ddwfn yn nhirwedd y Preseli.

———

From his pottery studio in Mynachlog-ddu, in the heart of the Preseli Hills, Robin Dale-Thomas creates ceramics that reflect a deep connection to natural materials, traditional craftsmanship and the beauty of simple forms. After studying ceramics at Goldsmiths and later spending time in Japan working with potters and studying calligraphy, his work brings together influences from Japanese craft and European pottery traditions.

His stoneware vessels and richly textured glazes are filled with character, balance and quiet beauty. Working with great respect for both process and material, Robin creates pieces that feel both functional and sculptural — shaped slowly by skilled hands and deeply rooted in the landscape of the Preseli Hills.

✨ WILLIAM WYNDHAM ✨

Mae gwaith William Wyndham yn cyfuno arsylwi manwl o’r dirwedd â dychymyg swrrealaidd, gan greu byd sy’n teimlo’n gyfarwydd ac yn rhyfedd ar yr un pryd. Yn beintiwr ac artist rhyngddisgyblaethol, mae ei waith yn symud rhwng paentio, gwneud printiau a cherflunwaith, gan blethu natur, myth, cof a breuddwyd mewn delweddau llawn awyrgylch.

Yn ddiweddar fe’i dewiswyd fel Artist Preswyl ar Ynys Enlli, lle mae ei waith wedi ymateb i unigedd, rhythmau natur a hanes cyfoethog yr ynys. Mae ei baentiadau yn aml yn awgrymu tirweddau breuddwydiol, gyda ffurfiau annisgwyl a chyfosodiadau swrrealaidd sy’n gwahodd y gwyliwr i edrych eto ac i weld y byd mewn ffordd newydd.

———

William Wyndham's work combines close observation of landscape with a distinctly surreal imagination, creating worlds that feel both familiar and strange. A painter and interdisciplinary artist, his practice moves between painting, printmaking and sculpture, weaving together nature, myth, memory and dreamlike imagery.

Recently selected as an Artist in Residence on Ynys Enlli (Bardsey Island), his work responds to solitude, natural rhythms and the island’s rich history. His paintings often suggest dreamlike landscapes, where unexpected forms and surreal juxtapositions invite viewers to look again and experience the world from a different perspective.

✨ NIC FIFE ✨

Mae gwaith Nic Fife yn archwilio’r cysylltiadau rhwng y byd mewnol a’r dirwedd o’n cwmpas — gofod rhwng greddf, ysbrydolrwydd a marciau sy’n dod i’r wyneb drwy’r broses o greu. Trwy baentio haniaethol myfyriol, mae Nic yn gweithio’n reddfol gyda lliw, llinell a haenau o baent i adeiladu delweddau sy’n llawn tawelwch, symudiad ac egni cynnil.

Mae ei gwaith yn datblygu fel math o fyfyrdod gweledol, gyda marciau ystumiedig a haenau o wyn golau yn ymddangos ac yn diflannu ar draws y cynfas. Mae’r paentiadau’n awgrymu cysylltiad dwfn â natur, presenoldeb a’r pethau anweledig sy’n ein cysylltu â’n gilydd a’r byd o’n cwmpas.

———

The work of Nic Fife explores the meeting point between inner experience and the landscape around us — a space where instinct, spirituality and mark-making come together. Through contemplative abstract painting, Nic works intuitively with colour, line and layered surfaces to create images filled with stillness, movement and subtle energy.

Her practice unfolds as a form of visual meditation, with expressive marks and veils of luminous white emerging and dissolving across the canvas. The paintings evoke a deep sense of connection — to nature, presence and the unseen threads that bind us to the world around us.

✨ SOPHIE MYFANWY WELLAN ✨

Mae gwaith Sophie Myfanwy Wellan yn cael ei ysbrydoli gan fytholeg, llên gwerin a’r cysylltiadau emosiynol rhwng pobl, anifeiliaid a thirwedd. Trwy luniadu, paentio a gwaith cymysg, mae Sophie yn creu delweddau sy’n teimlo’n hudolus ac yn reddfol — yn llawn symbolau, creaduriaid a straeon hanner cofiedig.

Mae natur a’r dychymyg yn cydblethu drwy’r gwaith, gyda ffurfiau organig, manylion cain a lliwiau cyfoethog yn adeiladu byd sy’n ymddangos rhywle rhwng breuddwyd a realiti. Mae ei gwaith yn llawn awyrgylch ac ymdeimlad cryf o gynefin, myth a hunaniaeth.

———

The work of Sophie Myfanwy Wellan is inspired by mythology, folklore and the emotional connections between people, animals and landscape. Through drawing, painting and mixed media, Sophie creates images that feel instinctive and magical — filled with symbols, creatures and half-remembered stories.

Nature and imagination intertwine throughout the work, with organic forms, delicate detail and rich colour building worlds that seem to exist somewhere between dream and reality. Her work is rich in atmosphere and rooted in ideas of *cynefin*, myth and identity.
