ANNE THOMAS
Is an artist, teacher and well-being guide, working from her home within the Dyfi Biosphere, in beautiful West Wales, UK.​
Creative Practice
Anne's artwork is informed by an Earth based spirituality, expressed in mandala paintings and ceramic sculptures.​
​
She observes the intrinsic geometric forms of nature, whether plant, animal, fungi or mineral, within the context of wider forces of nature; movement of water, wind, stars, planets, galaxies; cycles of inter being and becoming.
These patterns are then woven into designs that offer glimpses of an underlying order to life, a sense of harmonious unification, within the seemingly chaotic and complex world around us.
Anne's paintings are made with watercolour onto large sheets of paper.
Her sculptures are hand built in clay, with coloured slips, recycled glass and glazes adding colour and depth to the 3D forms.
She uses a compass to map out the geometry of both 2D and 3D works.
​
Within the unifying wholeness of her designs are plants and animals native to the UK, along with expressions of the Sacred Mother (Gaia, Pachamama) and other aspects of sacred feminine embodiment.​
​

Member of South Wales Potters association.

'How do we find our centre when all around the world is changing? Where will we find shelter when the winds of life blow hardest? It is in the highest and best interests of us all to develop inner calm and self awareness, so we can orientate within the great wheel of life. To live our lives with grace and in beauty; with strength of heart and clarity of mind and spirit, to become the best that we can be".​
