Based in Cardiff and with a background in the Sciences, my artwork is exhibited across the UK, and Europe. Works are held in private and public collections. I hold a distinction in Masters level Fine Art from Swansea Met, along with a BSc in Human Sciences from University College London.

I use a multi-media approach, which includes, painting, drawing, film-making, audio, working with the public and public engagement. My work combines bold aesthetics with conceptual interest created through extensive research in philosophy, science and art history.

I am a Welsh-American artist whose early career was in visual communications: in journalism, print, digital design, and illustration, working as an illustrator, designer, art director and finally as design director for a group of 36 publications. I continue to freelance internationally as a designer and illustrator. In 2009, I decided (not due to redundancy) that I wanted to move away from work in publishing to find new successes in teaching, making and most honestly, to live a more varied creative life, for this I emigrated to Wales. In Pembrokeshire, I teach creative awareness and OCN art courses for adult learners, NEET, children of all ages and lead workshops county-wide. From my own studio, cheese and pickles, I lead intensive workshops which help to prepare individuals in their own careers in design an illustration.

The Machynlleth Tabernacle Trust was established in 1986 in order to transform the Wesleyan Tabernacle into a concert space (350 seats) for local and visiting musicians. It is also used for lectures and other events. It has become known as one of the finest chamber music concert hall in the British Isles and artists from far afield come to perform, and many ask to record there. The restoration of the Tabernacle was followed by the development of the adjoining property, and the building of a link building between that and the auditorium, that allowed four galleries for Art exhibitions under the collective name of Museum of Modern Art, Wales (MOMA Wales) to open in 1992. These galleries are open six days a week, including bank holidays, and entry is free. Approximately twenty exhibitions are held during the year, by established and emerging artists, many have an emphasis on links with Wales. The annual Open Art Competition attracts entries from throughout the UK. The Tabernacle Art Collection, comprising over 250 works of art, is kept in the building and exhibited as part of the exhibition programme. The building also has space for education and learning, mainly language classes but also used for music and art teaching. Local and national groups use the space available for holding meetings. The Trust organises the annual Machynlleth Festival in August, a week's programme of over 15 events featuring local, national and international musicians playing Welsh, Jazz and Classical music. The programme includes the Hallstatt Lecture on a subject of Celtic Heritage, the award of the Gold Medal for service in the world of Music, Art or Literature in Wales, and master classes for young musicians. Recordings of the Festival are regularly featured on Radio 3 and Radio Cymru. Development of an adjacent, historic industrial building The Tannery is well underway and will provide 2 further galleries which will enable better displays of the Tabernacle Collection and an area for sculpture. 2013 has seen the appointment of the first professional Curator at MOMA WALES and with this the desire to improve the quality and range of shows offered to visitors.
Celfwaith is a public art consultancy. Our aim is to promote and develop the artist's role in the public realm. Through working in partnership we can raise ambition and deliver inspiring projects that make a positive contribution to our environment and our communities. We provide a number of services including: Project Management Exhibition curation Strategy development Policy development Public art training Fundraising We're also happy to provide advice on specific aspects of public art projects such as budgets or contracts. Our areas of expertise include art in regeneration, art in hospitals, and art and architecture. We are particularly interested in finding opportunities for craftspeople to work on a larger scale and establishing creative collaborations between artists and architects and engineers. Recent projects: Riverside Walkway, SA1 Having produced a public art strategy for SA1, Celfwaith began the process of implementing proposals. Craig Wood and Perry Roberts were commissioned to devise a series of works for the Riverside Walkway which would create an interesting trail to arouse the curiosity of pedestrians and provide surprises. The history of the docks was the subject, but to be interpreted in a contemporary way. The series of works include ships names grit-blasted into the walkway of ships registered in Swansea since 1824, boulders placed along the river's edge etched with motifs referring to the manufacture, export and import of goods from the docks, e.g. the chemical symbols for carbon, copper and iron, and floral patterns from Swansea's ceramics. 'tattoo carpet' designs etched and painted in the paving composed of historical maritime tattoos and those worn by Swansea residents today. Ysbyty Cwm Cynon Celfwaith was appointed by Cwm Taf Health Trust to produce a commissioning plan and to implement public art commissions for the new Ysbyty Cwm Cynon. A broad theme of 'bringing the outside in' had been suggested by HLM Architects and the hospital's footprint echoed the curve of the nearby river Cynon. The building was designed to harness the use of natural daylight with a particular sensitivity to the surrounding landscape, therefore texture, material and the play of natural light were also key considerations when forming the artists' briefs. Five artworks were commissioned: Atrium relief sculpture by Kathy Dalwood Lightwell architectural glass by David Pearl Sculptural seating and landscaping for the courtyard by Walter Jack Studio Glass and textile panels for the corridor walls by Laura Thomas Photographic work on diasec panels for the restaurant area by Pascal Dubois Discover the Valleys Ten artists were commissioned to create images for advertising posters to promote the South Wales Valleys under the slogan 'Discover the Valleys'.

Artist's Profile: Born, living and working in North Wales A committed painter, Jan exhibits her work regularly. She also has extensive experience in devising and delivering workshops, masterclasses and training in schools and to members of the wider community. She has successfully completed many residencies and commissions. Artist's Statement: Drawing intuitively with colour through water-based media allows me to create vibrant visions of inner and outer landscapes. I manipulate colour, shapes, textures, lines, tone and decorative pattern to unite fragments of memory and narrative into a new image. As Fennah Podchies writes, 'using her distinctive pallet ... each piece is a unique response and process.' Experiences of real landscapes are significant for my visual vocabulary and the wild places of North Wales, Scotland and Ireland are often referenced in my work. When objects appear in my compositions, they are ones that hold a personal significance for me. The life affirming quality of my work sings through the use of rich colour. Working with the subtle nuances of water based media, combining layered textures and a concern for mark making gives my work its distinctive originality.

Making, drawing and painting are part of me. I cannot separate my work from life, or my life from the work. When I am intrigued, influenced or dominated by an idea, it splashes into the work through painted imagery, repeated pattern, or symbols as I can become totally immersed in the materials. Each sculpture is created through maquettes, drawings.and then developed through hand building forms, and using found and created moulds using my own combinations of clays and often paperclay, and fired to 1100- 1200, and decorated with oxides/majolica glaze. I also often incorporate found and altered mixed media into pieces/structures/installations. My current subject matter is experimentation with altering the human form, considering- what makes us appear human, and which features of the body are important to express gesture/emotion/attitude? I am also interested in challenging the perception of any ceramics as 'everyday objects', which often dismisses the 1,000s of years of tradition in developing techniques, forms and surfaces, and disregards the need for current makers in clay to develop these skills to produce fired ceramic work. I exhibit work in galleries throughout the UK, I exhibited at The Santorini Biennale (Greece) 2012 (with assistance from the Arts Council of Wales) and was awarded the joint 1st prize at The Royal Cambrian Academy Open (Conwy) January 2014 for an installation piece Mother Mary Chess set.

Sorry, not buying the Press Release. Having Bob Dylan and Tom Petty introduce their favorite records and tell stories in between is not an "interruption."
DJ's cost money, and they add value to the programming. When there is a blizzard (like last week) they play a set of songs about storms. When it's a heatwave, the play Summer in the City, etc. No computer generated play list does that.
I seriously doubt the new provider has anything remotely close to what Earle Bailey has created with Deep Tracks. I.E, a trip back to the glory days of free form progressive FM rock radio. If your a serious classic rock fan, interested in the history of popular music, or just miss the days when the late night DJ's could play whatever they wanted, Deep Tracks is the best.
+1 Channels like Deep Tracks are interesting and unique and offer character, variety and personality that is all too lacking on FM radio these days.
I don't know much about SonicTap. Does anyone know how much influence Clear Channel will have over SonicTap's programming? The more Clear Channel influence on SonicTap the less valuable this change will be to me. I have little interest in much of anything Clear Channel has to offer.

If you follow me on Twitter, are friends with me on Facebook or stalk me in a red Mini Cooper or whatever, you know I've had an interesting 24 hours. I chopped off my ponytail and went all pixie and then I spiked it up in a thousand directions and now am sorely tempted to put toothpaste in it to get the spikes to stick and then maybe streak it pink. (Mom and Dad, if you're reading this: I am completely kidding.)
The pixie, in a slightly more proper state.
I missed the Giants game because it was at a ridiculous time and also, I was in the hair salon. Chopping that much hair takes a long time, guys. From what I hear, though, it wasn't pretty. Madison Bumgarner wasn't having the whole Chicago thing at all and San Francisco lost by a final of 6-4. Yeah, not pretty. Still, they finish the month of August a round 4.0 games in front of the Dodgers and September means – you guessed it – September call-ups! Also, It's September Inside and Maybe Not Outside, but that's beside the point. September call-ups are actually one of my favorite parts of the season and not just because they signify Starbucks starts selling pumpkin lattes. Okay, maybe a little bit because of that. But mostly, especially when the team is making a playoff run, it's a lot of fun to see things mixed up a bit. Six new players will be joining the team tomorrow as the Giants play another unreasonably timed game in Chicago tomorrow.
10am on a Saturday? Get outta here. If I do manage to wake up, it's Lincecum pitching, so it should be interesting. I hate describing Lincecum starts as "interesting", but the alternatives are even worse, if slightly more colorful. Anyhows, I'm just pretending that this August is like That August We Are Not Going to Talk About and Lincecum is going to snap out of it in, oh, two hours and fifty-three minutes. (When September starts, in case you're feeling slow or my attempt at humor is falling flat.)
I have to go. My hair is short and the toothpaste is waiting.
Diamond Girl
p.s. The Cubs gave away lip balm at today's game. Why on earth am I not a Cubs fan? Alternately, why don't the Giants do awesome giveaways like that? Because I'm not all the tempted to become a Cubs fan seeing as, y'know, they're cursed and stuff.

Dear Fred: Again, I want to tell you how much we enjoyed meeting you last week and appreciate your generous help in getting us off to a good start. Both Hugh and I know that the material and references you pulled together should make our task both easier and more objective. Following our visits with you we had a full day at the Hylsa Steel Mill in Puebla. This proved very interesting and also we met some fine people. It is an impressive operation and encouraging to see progress in expanding domestic production of steel. We have returned to a real heat wave here in San Francisco - a new record with temperatures around 100. This is a bit hard to take in traditionally air conditioned San Francisco. We are still talking about Bellinghans attractive restaurant and our pleasant visit over lunch. The next time I come down t have promised to bring Mrs. Bourret along so that she will have an opportunity of meeting Mrs. Sullivan. With sincere appreciation and thanks for your help.

Emanuel, Preckwinkle team up on tougher gun rules, sentences
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com January 12, 2013 12:08AM
Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle and Mayor Rahm Emanuel . FILE PHOTO | John H. White~Chicago Sun-Times.
Updated: February 14, 2013 6:44AM
Mayor Rahm Emanuel wants to broaden the requirement for reporting the loss, theft, sale or transfer of firearms to all gun owners in all of Cook County and double the jail time for an array of gun violations to stop the bloodbath on Chicago streets.
The latest in a string of Chicago-only gun control ordinances — and companion legislation that would impose a first-ever reporting requirement in Cook County — was hastily drawn after an assault weapons ban stalled during the lame-duck session of the Illinois General Assembly.
After 506 homicides in 2012 and more of the same during the opening days of the new year, Emanuel said he was determined to stretch the legal limits of his local authority to prod Springfield into action.
Only time will tell whether the tag-team approach with Cook County will succeed in stopping the flow of illegal guns into Chicago. The ordinance would require all firearms owners — not just the holders of city firearms permits — to report the loss, theft, destruction, sale or transfer of a firearm to both the Chicago Police Department and the Cook County Sheriff's office.
Violators would face up to six months in jail. That's double the jail time for a reporting requirement that now applies only to permit holders in Chicago.
For the first time, Cook County would impose a similar reporting requirement.
Emanuel also wants to double the maximum jail time to six months for: possession of a firearm without a permit; possession of assault weapons and other firearms that cannot be registered in Chicago, and for sale or possession of high-capacity magazines and metal-piercing bullets.
David Spielfogel, a senior adviser to the mayor, said the countywide reporting requirement is pivotal.
"There's no one step that can solve the problem, but this is an important first step to make sure we can track crime guns. Anything we can do to crack down on crime guns is gonna have an impact" on the number of murders and shootings, he said.
"We see lost or stolen as a common excuse. It makes it hard to follow the track ... and isolate gun runners supplying guns on Chicago streets. This changes the requirement. You can no longer use lost or stolen as an excuse. It expands the requirement, enhances the penalties and creates a countywide system, so we can have a broader impact. They have nothing right now" in the way of a reporting requirement.
Spielfogel described the mayor's ordinance as the "first step of many" that would be taken in the coming months to stop the violence on Chicago streets that became a national media obsession in 2012.
"As we're pushing the federal government on the assault weapons ban and large-clip ban and pushing the state, we've got to keep moving on the city level," he said
County Board President Toni Preckwinkle plans to introduce her companion legislation at Wednesday's County Board meeting, according to Preckwinkle's spokesman Kristen Mack.
It would require firearms owners to report the make, model and serial number of lost, stolen, sold, transferred or destroyed firearms to the sheriff within 48 hours and empower the sheriff to share that information with his local law enforcement counterparts. Violators would face a $1,000 fine.
Preckwinkle's decision to join forces with Emanuel to stop the flow of guns pouring into Chicago could help mend fences between the two powerful politicians.
Last month, Preckwinkle delivered a blistering critique of City Hall's performance on education and crime, Chicago's two most intransigent problems.
The former South Side alderman bemoaned the city's "miserable education system" and said Emanuel and Police Supt. Garry McCarthy believe the solution to Chicago's never-ending violence is to "just arrest everybody."
"Clearly this mayor and this police chief have decided the way in which they're going to deal with the terrible violence that faces our community is just arrest everybody," Preckwinkle said then as she reflected on her first two years in office.
"I don't think in the long term that's going to be successful. I think we're going to have to figure out how to have interventions that are more comprehensive than just police interventions in the communities where we have the highest rates of crime."
Chicago's latest gun law was rushed into place in 2010 after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Chicago's 28-year-old handgun ban.
Last summer, a federal judge shot down the section used to deny a man a gun permit because of a prior misdemeanor conviction. The judge ruled that section "unconstitutionally void for vagueness" and said it violated the right to keep and bear arms under the Second Amendment.
At Emanuel's request, aldermen approved a re-write that would permanently bar anyone who has been convicted of a felony violent crime and impose a five-year ban on anyone convicted of a misdemeanor violent crime.
The latest changes are tailor-made to follow the legislative wish-list McCarthy has articulated ever since Adam Lanza walked into Sandy Hook Elementary school in Newtown, Conn., and shot 20 children and six adults after murdering his own mother.
McCarthy has argued that his officers would continue "drinking from a fire hose" until Illinois: bans assault weapons and high-capacity magazines; requires gun owners to report lost, stolen or transferred firearms; mandates criminal background checks before every single gun sale and imposes mandatory minimum penalties "sufficient to deter people" from carrying illegal firearms.
"We need those five things. Not just assault weapons. Not just high-capacity magazines. We need all of it," McCarthy said on that day.
Noting that Chicago Police recover nine guns for every one recovered in New York City, he said, "That's insanity, folks."
Ald. Pat O'Connor (40th), the mayor's City Council floor leader, has acknowledged that the new ordinance would likely draw another court challenge.
"It's the art of going to the end without going over the edge. ... It's nuanced pretty well," he said.
"Obviously, if the state and federal government were to step into this in a big way, they could save a lot of time and energy that municipalities spend trying to do what states and the federal government have been unwilling to do."
