About Myles

I was born in 1968 and did a variety of jobs before going to university in 2014at the age of 46 to study fine art. I gained a First Class Honours Degree in Fine Art at the Swansea College of Art in 2017 and graduated my Masters degree with distinction in 2020.

I now attend York St John University studying Fine Art for Phd.

I paint in watercolour, oil, acrylic and mixed media/collage. I also sculpt in steel and use recycled materials for my sculptures, I have made Sculptures to commission for Dr Beynon’s Bug Farm in St Davids and The National Botanic Garden of Wales. My First World War Soldier sculpture was used in the series of commemorative performances in september 2018 for the Now The Hero events in Swansea put together by the artist Marc Rees.
