Hi! My name is Celyn and I’m a Welsh speaking, published illustrator based in Newport. I have a first class honours degree in the subject and have a passion for using illustration as a medium for social commentary.
My work is inspired by my love of expression through fashion and colour and my fascination with Japanese graphic design and art. I strive to capture the beauty and small moments of my surroundings and everyday life.
My portfolio includes:
Fi Ydy Fi
I illustrated the first Welsh medium book about puberty for girls. The book was fully illustrated and included spreads depicting body confidence, friendship, bodily changes and growing up.
The book, published by Y Lolfa can be found here:
