Meet Gwenllian Vaughan

Gwenllian Vaughan, born in 1950 in Prestatyn, North Wales, currently resides on Isle of Anglesey, North Wales.

Gwenllian's artistic expressions take shape in the form of small, abstract paintings. Her chosen medium is acrylic, applied to paper and then mounted on panels.

Her recent series of paintings explore the delicate balance between chance and order. Her exploration involves the deliberate manipulation of paper through processes such as folding and scrunching, resulting in a serendipitous yet deliberate amalgamation of form. These processes intersect beautifully with the infusion of color and specific patterns. In her recent series, the patterns find inspiration from realms as diverse as biology, including cell signaling arrays, and the intricate world of musical notation.
