HOME SKETCH Efa Lois draws on her love of Cardiff

Canton-based artist Efa Lois has released a series of limitededition prints that depict well-known locations in Cardiff – from Womanby Street and Pontcanna, to Splott, Canton, Roath and Cathays.

Efa’s artistic business venture, Rhithganfyddiad, started as a blog, and she, along with poet Morgan Owen, started creating Welsh poems and illustrations based on places in Cardiff.

“We started Rhithganfyddiadbecause we wanted to document the city,” she says. “Cities are constantly evolving, especially Cardiff, and we hoped to capture what the city is currently like, while reflecting on its past. The end result is a poem and an illustration – a chronicle of each place. For more: www.efalois.cymru and www.rhithganfyddiad.etsy.com
