Enaid, Gwaed, Ysbryd

Annie Morgan Suganami (b.1952) is a Welsh artist and musician currently living and working in Machynlleth, Wales. Suganami trained at the Royal Academy of Music and Cardiff School of Art & Design.

Enaid, Gwaed, Ysbryd (Soul, Blood, Spirit) features portraits as well as imagined characters, both paintings and drawings, including pieces from the past eight years alongside portraits and other work produced for the exhibition.

Borrowed from observation or imagined, it is human body language and most particularly the face that is central to Suganami’s work. She is compelled to paint characters emanating tenacity, perseverance, resistance and tenderness – personal icons of endurance in uncertain times.
