About

Ceris Dyfi Jones is a textile artist based in Dolgellau, North Wales. She first started experimenting with fine art whilst completing an Art Foundation Diploma in 2022, in which she achieved a Distinction. Through her work, she often plays with the contrasting themes of Comfort vs Discomfort, Dark vs Light and Humour vs Horror.

Ceris was diagnosed with ADHD and ASD in her early 20s after struggling to refamiliarise herself with a new reality after the pandemic. Much of this struggle is reflected in her work, especially in her signature crochet series ‘Heartstrings.’

Prior to art, Ceris received a First Class degree in History with Film Studies (with Hons) from Bangor University in 2020, from which she also received The Bangor University 'Best History Dissertation Award' for her paper titled 'The Construction of ‘Freaks’: Investigating the Presentation of Physical Disability in 1930s Horror Films'.
