LLEWELYN ASH
Llewelyn has always been connected with his surroundings. Growing up in the Adelaide Hills enriched his experience of natural flora and fauna. Art began in the home for him with both parents being artists. Glen Ash is well-known for his oil painting and Janet Ayliffe is a celebrated water colour painter and print maker. From a young age Llewelyn started drawing the animals he was surrounded by — chooks, ducks, dogs and donkeys. Surfing then became a major part of his journey, moving down the South Australian coastline along every peninsula. It was only fitting to fill his drawing books with images of the ocean, its sea life, and the natural beach landscapes.
Llewelyn has been working in glass since 2008, first learning to blow glass at the University of South Australia. Honoured as a Jam Factory Associate, his work has been exhibited in Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne including at the Winter Lights Exhibition, Federation Square. Achievements include: the Design Institute of Australia Award, Finalist in the Australian National Glass Museum Student Award, JamFactory Pilchuck Scholarship in Seattle, Young Artist for Whyalla Art Prize, Brighton Sculpture Prize and Waterhouse Youth Art Prize.
