Eric Ngalle Charles. Commissioned painting for the National Library of Wales permanent collection. In 2022 The National Library of Wales received funding from the Welsh Arts Council in the hope to commission artists to produce work that responds to their historical collection. Morfudd Bevan, Art Curator for the National Library of Wales commissioned me to create a painting based on the life of someone within the Welsh community who has had a significant impact and should be better recognised. After reaching out to creative organisations and communities in Wales the name of the Eric Ngalle Charles was recommended. The aim of the portrait was to create an archive of Erics life and influence within Wales and Welsh literature. The portrait will become a part of the National Library of Wales permanent collection, immortalising some of Erics story, from his journey to Wales and his rise as a successful author, poet and playwright, creating bridges between communities and countries through his work. This project has been a real blessing. To be trusted to tell some of Eric’s incredible story has been such a privilege! And to have my work becoming a part of such a historical institutions collection is beyond my wildest dreams especially so early in my career.
