CERI THOMAS

Art History

I am a freelance artist, art historian and curator.

For my BA, I specialised in Italian Renaissance art and I have maintained my links with Italy.

For my MA, it was 19th and 20th century British and western art and art theory.

And for my PhD I focused on the artist Ernest Zobole within the context of art in Wales since 1945.

Consequently, my specialism is the art of Wales over the last 100 years.

As an artist, I have exhibited in Wales and abroad in group and solo shows (for example at the National Assembly for Wales and the National Library of Wales). I am a member of the Royal Cambrian Academy.

As an art historian, I have researched and written books, exhibition catalogues and articles on Welsh art and artists and I have given lectures. For instance, I have spoken at the Hay Festival and recently produced a book on Ogwyn Davies.

As a curator, I have originated a variety of group and solo exhibitions for venues around Wales. Currently I am curating an exhibition for the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery in Swansea which runs from mid May to early September 2023.

I appear on television, radio and online as an artist, art historian and curator. Off air, I enjoy nature watching, gardening, dog walking and Pilates.

TESTIMONIALS

‘After having a difficult time fitting into High School and with his concentration and focus, Liz tutored my son to try increase his confidence with essay writing and exam technique. She went on to help prepare him for his GCSEs in English Literature and Language syllabus. He had struggled with the support given at school but with Liz’s help went on to achieve B’s in both.

Liz has provided support to 3 of our children from pre GCSE to A level and has been invaluable in providing tuition to them in comprehension and exam technique as well as covering essential parts of the syllabus missed at school. All have gone on to get B’s and above in the subjects studied.’

'Liz has been tutoring our 13-year-old son for over a year to prepare him for the ISEB 13+ Common Entrance Exams across all humanity subjects. Most subjects she taught were well beyond the syllabus covered in my son’s school due to more stretching ISEB exam requirements. She is resourceful and has really planned her lessons well to cover a variety of subjects in a limited schedule my son could fit in. She is highly professional and always calm in her teaching style. My son felt challenged yet not stressed and he always looked forward to the lessons with Liz. The exam results were very positive which earned my son a star entry (top 30) into Eton. I would not hesitate to recommend Liz to anyone who is looking for high quality tutoring service.'

The course (The Archaeology of South America) very good and well constructed. Chiara is well researched in her subject, and has great enthusiasm for it. This comes across in the class, and makes it an enjoyable experience for the students.
