Noëlle Griffiths ~ Statement

Noëlle Griffiths studied Fine Art at St Martin's School of Art, London during 1978-82. She left London to live in North Wales to paint professionally in 1985, and has taught art part-time since 1987. Noëlle has received various awards, residencies and travel scholarships.

As well as painting, Noëlle has made one-off artist's books since 1988, and editioned books since 2003 when she started Hafod Press. Hafod Press books are collected and archived by The National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth and in collections including the British Library, V&A Museum, Tate, MMU Manchester, Leeds University, University of Creative Arts etc.
She started the website artistsbooksonline.com in 2005 and co-organised the UK touring exhibition 'For the Love of Making Books' 2007-09.
Noëlle has exhibited regularly in group and solo exhibitions since 1983. She was elected a Member of the Royal Cambrian Academy in 2019..

PAINTINGS "In my paintings I attempt to capture the essence and distillation of an experience or concept. In each painting I want to create an atmosphere. Balancing ideas and memory with a more intuitive handling of surface and colour, rather than depicting reality. I am searching for simplicity through a process of layering and reduction."

BOOKS : "My books extend visually the ideas and images I explore in my paintings. For me a book is a distillation of an experience or concept often with an element of recording something that will never exist or happen again."
