About the artist

Liza Penn-Thomas

I'm a poet, artist, and learning facilitator working out of Swansea, South Wales.

 

I am always keen to find new playful ways to invite people of all ages to connect and express through writing, poetry, and performance - helping to improve the wellbeing of individuals and communities. Coming from a creative writing discipline this has often been through supporting literacy skills - working with those facing social and economic deprivation - and most recently through projects encouraging reading and writing for wellbeing. 

​

My own creative work has explored memory, identity, and place through poetry, photography, and meditative practice. With poetry published on both sides of the Atlantic, I am a respected perfomer on the spoken word scene in South Wales and an arts critic.
