Welsh artist Jen Delyth creates original Celtic paintings and illustrations which explore the language of myth and symbol inspired by Celtic folklore and the spirit within nature. Her body of work spans an array of media including traditional egg tempera painting, oil painting, printmaking, textile design as well as computer illustration and multimedia animation. Limited Edition Giclées are made by the artist in her studio using archival materials and inks to produce Fine Art Museum quality prints. Drawing from ancient metaphors and integrating the visual motifs and language of Celtic patterning into original new designs, Jen Delyth finds the symmetry of form and symbol that expresses living archetypes. Her work is stylistically contemporary, iconographic, reflecting spiritual and philosophical roots which embody universal themes that reflect her love of nature and Celtic symbolism."This ancient design medium is a compelling passion for me, that continues to enchant and yet somehow be the perfect way to talk about that which is abstract, sometimes invisible, and yet so essential". A self-taught artist from South Wales, Jen Delyth came to Northern California in 1986. She is active within the artists' communities of San Francisco and remains closely connected with her family back home. Recent work includes a series of Celtic Animations collaged with Celtic poetry and music available as "Beyond the Ninth Wave" interactive DVD. Her book "Celtic Folk Soul - art, myth and symbol" is a retrospective of her artwork and writing of the last 20 years - published by Amber Lotus 2008. Jen's original Celtic artwork has been widely published and exhibited in North America, and back in her native Wales and in Europe. Published works include Books, Book Cover and magazine illustrations, Music and Theatre Illustration and the best selling "Celtic Mandalas" Calendar, Journals and Greeting Cards. Also featured on television, theatre, festivals and museums across the country, Jen's prints and paintings have been exhibited with solo and group shows internationally. Jen Delyth established her business Keltic Designs - now Celtic Art Studio - in San Francisco in 1989, designing a successful line of textiles, jewelry and stationary including her limited edition fine art prints which are available through web site: www.celticartstudio.com
