I'm Nia Wyn Skyrme, an Artist Practitioner and Producer, based in Cardiff. I work within the Arts, Community, Health & Wellbeing sector in Wales. I am a fluent Welsh speaker, confident in working on projects through the medium of Welsh or English.
I am passionate about collaborating with under represented artists and communities. I believe strongly about Artist wellbeing within the sector, and actively seek out opportunities and new ways of working to create a safe and brave space.
After working with me I want you to be proud, feel a sense of achievement, belonging, to be happy and inspired to help others.
I believe that everyone has the right to access the Arts and that creativity belongs to all. Creativity is a powerful tool to boost and maintain our wellbeing, and through creating we develop our self worth, voice and confidence.
Testimonials
"Nia has a calm and compassionate nature and she instinctively understands how to respond to vulnerable participants. She also has the ability to take firm action if any challenges arise, responding confidently and dynamically. She has sensitivity to the needs of the artists, the participants and is able to deal with funders professionally representing the vision of the project with passion."
Iola Ynyr, Community Artist for Wellbeing / Author
"I really enjoyed the exploration of self, and the way you delivered the session was just great, I'm not the best at painting, words are more my strength but I didn't feel that was detrimental to my use of art by the way you set up the activities."
Participant at Artists workshop

"Nia’s part of the event was through facilitating workshops for children and adults throughout the day and it was absolutely perfect. The concept of the workshop: free-hand single line drawing, along with Nia’s enthusiastic and encouraging delivery allowed for those participating to engage fully and with freedom of expression.
With a target audience being non-theatrical / those who rarely engage with the arts, hesitancy to participate was a likely obstacle. However Nia’s workshop was never empty, with multiple people going back again and again throughout the day."
