Gwen Coggin - England Print
Painter



Gwen lives in Northampton, England.

She has always been interested in art from as far back as she can remember but due to circumstances wasn’t able to study art full time until 1996. It was then that Gwen decided to go back to college and take an access course which lead onto a degree from the local university, which she achieved in 2000.

Gwen worked at Lings Upper School as an assistant to the art department but Gwen didn’t feel that she was achieving what she set out to do with in the art industry and decided to take the next leap into full filling her dream, of becoming a full time artist.

Gwen did this with strong faith and believed she could find what she wanted as she flew to the other side of the world, Wanganui, New Zealand to find an art group, gallery and studio. Within a week of arriving in Wanganui, her dreams all came possible as she walked through the doors of the Paint Pit.

Gwen is very passionate about her work and has produced many lovely paintings. She likes to use oil and acrylic paints, encaustic wax and mixed media. Like most artists she also likes to experiment with all mediums of being creative. 

Gwen and will be holding encaustic wax workshops and offers her time to working with people with Autism as her Grandson also has this condition. Gwen has been to courses and understands the needs of Autistic children and adults.

Gwen reads angel and tarot cards for those who are interested in looking into their paths and direction of life.
