CAROLINE REES

Paper Artist / Arlunydd Papur

Caroline Rees is a surface designer and has been designing and cutting stencils for many years - first for printed textiles, then for architectural sandblasted glass and currently for paper. She loves simple, bold and graphic imagery and is inspired by pattern, her Welsh heritage and the beautiful Gower landscape where she lives.
She gained recognition for her distinctive architectural glass having undertaken large scale commissions for public and private spaces, including meeting the Queen at her installation in Windsor. However, it is the hands on, simple and traditional technique of paper cutting which she currently finds most gratifying. This enables her to create contemporary and humorous images which are designed to make you smile.

Dylunydd wyneb yw Caroline Rees ac mae wedi bod yn dylunio a thorri stensiliau ers blynyddoedd lawer - yn gyntaf ar gyfer tecstilau printiedig, yna ar gyfer gwydr pensaernïol â gorchudd tywod ac ar hyn o bryd ar gyfer papur. Mae hi wrth ei bodd â delweddau syml, beiddgar a graffig ac mae wedi'i hysbrydoli gan batrwm, ei threftadaeth Gymreig a thirwedd hyfryd Gŵyr lle mae'n byw.
Enillodd gydnabyddiaeth am ei gwydr pensaernïol unigryw ar ôl ymgymryd â chomisiynau ar raddfa fawr ar gyfer lleoedd cyhoeddus a phreifat, gan gynnwys cwrdd â'r Frenhines yn ei gosodiad yn Windsor. Fodd bynnag, y dechneg ymarferol a syml o dorri papur sy’n ei boddhau ar hyn o bryd. Mae hyn yn ei galluogi i greu delweddau cyfoes a doniol sydd wedi'u cynllunio i wneud ichi wenu.
