The third guest speaker in a series of artist talks curated by the Students of Bangor Art Foundation course will be the award-winning sculptress Angharad Pearce Jones.

She now lives and works in Carmarthenshire and is a member of the Royal Society of Sculptors and a recipient of a Henry Moore Artist Award 2025.

Over a 30-year period, she has exhibited regularly both in the UK and internationally and was the principal curator for ‘Wales at The Smithsonian Festival’ in Washington DC, in 2009. Her largest solo show to date, at Aberystwyth Arts Centre in 2023/24, was called IMPACT/Ardrawiad and seamlessly combined her skills as a craftsperson, maker, sculptor and installation artist, and at the 2024 National Eisteddfod of Wales, she was awarded the Gold Medal in Fine Art. Angharad has recently installed 2 new sculptures in Penygroes, North Wales, for Unesco: World Heritage Slate Mining Landscapes and a permanent sculpture for the grounds of Ruthin Craft Centre as part of CELF, National Contemporary Gallery for Wales. She is currently producing the Swansea Covid Memorial, in collaboration with architectural glass artist, Catrin Jones and this year, two of her sculptures have been purchased for the National Collection of Amgueddfa Cymru ( Museum Wales), Cardiff.
