Born in Bristol, raised in Pembrokeshire, Romy is a multi- media artist now based in North Somerset.

Romy attended art college, completing a Fine Art Diploma. After many years earning a living in a variety of jobs, and life throwing her many twists and turns, Romy became increasingly unwell. After being diagnosed with a chronic illness, she turned back to art to help navigate these huge life changes by enrolling as a mature student on an Arts & Health degree. Graduating with a distinction and the Tom Bray Award for Endurance in 2019, Romy qualified as an Arts & Health Facilitator. Her deteriorating health meant she had to stop working in that field, however, she still uses her creativity for her own wellbeing and, though limited herself, Romy is a passionate advocate for the huge benefits of being creative.

Not giving up easily, Romy continues to create when able, be that in bed or in her art studio based at Gatcombe farm, Flax Bourton. She has Open Days, when feeling well enough, where artwork, handmade gifts, cards and more, are available to view and buy.

Romy is an Ambassador for the charity Outside In, which provides a platform for artists, like herself, who face barriers to the art world. She also uses her artwork to raise awareness and support charities related to her condition.
