Angharad Brawn is an artist from South Wales. As a child she loved drawing and doing anything creative. Born with an extremely rare genetic condition that causes a lot of pain so she used art as an escape. As she got older she knew that she wanted to continue into a creative career and she developed a passion for jewellery design. She got into the school of jewellery at Birmingham City University but unfortunately due to her first year her condition deteriorated very quickly and she had to change courses. She switched to art and design and found a passion for painting as well as digital work.

After leaving university she returned home to Wales and moved into a small bungalow in the bottom of the valleys. She soon found herself working on a story of her life so far. This story became The Wobbly Penguin. She illustrated and self published the book through a Kickstarter campaign. It was the best feeling knowing that her story may be read by a child who’s going through physical challenges in their body and that it might help them.

Through the book Angharad found a talent for drawing animals and that’s when things started to happen! Friends and family asked her to draw their pets and she started to develop a reputation for creating digital pet portraits. It wasn’t until 2022 the she actually started painting again. After finding a way to combat the tremors and muscle spasms she had in her hands she painted every day to hone her skill.

Now, Angharad takes on commissions for stunning pet portraits as well as selling pre made animal themed gifts, greetings cards, art prints and original artwork.
