WELCOME TO
CYNEFN (Kin∙evn)
“Cynefn” is derived from the Welsh word cynefin, meaning “where your soul feels at home.”
It describes the place that shapes us - woven from memory, belonging, and the land itself. We dropped the “i” in our name, but not its meaning.
Cynefn is a home for overlooked voices: women, queer artists, artists of colour, and those silenced or censored -particularly under fascist regimes.
We source, restore and reproduce their work as timeless, gallery-grade art prints that last a lifetime without going out of style.
Did you know over 85% of art in museums and galleries is by white men?

In-house restoration
Reviving lost voices, one print at a time.
I personally source every artwork at Cynefn from museum archives and digitised collections - focusing on work by women, queer artists, and others history tried to silence.
Each piece is carefully cleaned, repaired, recoloured and researched, so the artist’s work can be seen and their legacy remembered.
