Mary Griffiths b. 1956

Born in Llanelli in 1956, Mary Griffiths trained at Dyfed College of Art and Croydon College of Art.  She is an established figure on the British art scene. She has won numerous prizes for her drawings and paintings, including the Hunting Prize. She was awarded the Gold Medal in Fine Art at the 1994 Eisteddfod. In 2000 she became a member of Royal Cambrian Academy (invited by Sir Kyffin Williams RA).

Outstanding draughtmanship, a very direct and unsentimental approach to her subject matter, and an obvious joy in observing the human condition, have gained rave reviews in the art press and a place in many serious collections.
