"Eira ym Mhowys"
o brint sgrin gan David Wynn Millward

"Snow in Powys"
from a screen print by David Wynn Millward.

Ganwyd David Wynn Millward yn yr Amwythig ac fe'i magwyd yn y Sudan, Cymru a Lloegr. Astudiodd gelf yn Ysgolion yr Academi Frenhinol lle'r enillodd y Wobr Brintio ddwy flynedd yn olynnol am brintio sgrin ag argraffu. Bellir gweld ei waith mewn casgliadau ym Mhrydain a thramor.

Yn y 1980au, gyda chymorth ei wraig, yr awdures blant, Jenny Nimmo, sefydliodd Ysgol Hāf Arlunio ym Melin Henllan, Llangynyw, cartref y teulu yn sir Drefaldwyn.

Mae tirwedd Powys wedi bod yn thema y mae wedi dychwelyd ati dro ar ol tro ers y 1960au.

Fe'i comisiynnwyd gan Bwyllgor Fforum Mileniwm Llanfair Caereinion i gerfio delwedd dderw mytholegol i gofio Gwion Bach o Lanfair Caereinion. Mae hwn bellach yn sefyll yng Nghoed y Deri y dref. Eleni cwblhaodd gerlun mewn derw a ddraig a bachgen ar gyfer Cronfa Goff Brent Parry sydd bellach un Llyfrgell Ysgol Uwchradd y Trallwm

David Wynn Millward was born in Shrewbury and was brought up in Sudan, Wales and England. He studied art at the Royal Academy Schools where he won the Print Prize two years running for screen printing and etching. His work can be seen in collections throughout Great Britain and abroad.

In the 1980s with the help of his wife, children's author, Jenny Nimmo, he set up a Summer School of Painting at Henllan Mill, Llangynynyw, the family home in Mongomeryshire.

The Powys landscape has been a theme to which he has returned again and again since the 1960s.

He was commissioned by the Llanfair Caereinion Forum's Millennium Committee to carve an oak mythological totem commemorating Gweion Bach of llanfair Caereinion. This now stands in the town's Deri Woods. This year he completed a woodcarving in oak, of a dragon and boy for the Brent Parry memorial fund which is now in Welshpool High School Library.
