Richard Coan

I’m an artist and multidisciplinary creative working across graphic design, music, poetry, visual imagery, and community development.

My practice centres on connection and lived experience, exploring how ideas, people, and moments intersect. I value process, dialogue, and shared meaning over a focus on finished objects. Much of my work sits at the intersection of art and branding, supporting individuals and organisations to articulate their values and identity through visual work, sound, words, and collaborative, community-rooted projects.

I’m currently the resident artist at Community Wellness, a holistic health and wellbeing organisation based in Wrexham. As part of this residency, I’m developing a body of work in response to the project while also supporting their social media marketing. The residency has included organising a fundraising event where I shared poems, songs, and images created during the process.

To invite people into my creative process, I set up a Patreon page to gather feedback and share work in progress. I also published a poetry book, Ours, at the end of 2025.

'The story behind...'

Join me on Patreon to discover the stories behind the things I create. The prompts and nudges, the trial runs, films, demo recordings, and the weaving of it all.

The stories are at the heart of everything I do.

My little shop

Check out my shop.

I make stuff, and sometimes I make a few copies and let people buy it.
