<p>Glyn Baines left his family farm to study at Wrexham School of Art and Cardiff Teacher Training College. He later taught art at Ysgol Y Berwyn, in Bala, from 1966 until his retirement in 1989. He won the Gold Medal at Lle Celf, National Eisteddfod 2015 for his collection of abstract collages. These striking compositions of layered paper have attracted critical acclaim and demonstrate the unique qualities of paper as an artist’s material. Baines described his work as a celebration of colour and life.</p>
