Bob Grant
I am a recently graduated artist whose creative journey began in the vibrant streets of Manchester. After earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Leeds, I have quickly gained attention for my distinctive approach to contemporary painting and mixed media. My work often explores themes of identity, urban life, and the interplay between memory and reality, blending bold colours and textured layers to evoke emotion and dialogue.
My final year exhibition was praised for its innovative use of reclaimed materials and subtle social commentary. I am passionate about community engagement and frequently volunteer for local arts programmes, believing in the power of creativity to inspire change. As I embark on my professional practice, I am eager to collaborate with fellow artists and develop my portfolio, aspiring to contribute to the British art scene with fresh perspectives and meaningful connections.
Karolina Kanska
I am from Ukraine but now live in England. Photography is my passion. Since my childhood I wanted to leave memories of the best moments, because unfortunately our eyes can not do it for us, and from the memory some of them can be forgotten.
I take a photo of how much I remember, but professionally only for 2 years.
The most important thing for me is to show my essence and emotions for the world. When photographing people, I put all my soul into the process.
Beverley Coldron
Hi i am a mature student at the university of East London Docklands studying my BA in fine art. Ive just completed my first year of the degree and in September will be entering into the second year. I graduate in 2023 and then wish to progress to be an art teacher so i have to do teacher training. Im creating work all the time and would really like to ve able to find an audience out there so I can put the proceeds to obtaining more art supplies and possibly helping a charity. I am 60 years old and was not able to work before or get any qualification because i was always sick, but since finding faith seven years ago I have been healed and have achieved five GCSEs in 2017 and 2018. I then went to the City of Westminster College at Paddington Green in 2018 and acheived a distinction in UAL level 1 art design and media. In 2019 i started studying my BA fine arts with the foundation year and i love every single thing we learn about.
I have also just recently been taking an online NVQ2 course about mental health in children and teenagers because i thought that it would be useful and i have been told that both papers have been passed and sent for verification but it will take 12 weeks to get the certificate. The exam is equivalent to 4-5 GCSEs.
This year i have also been entering some virtual exhibitions and artprizes but later in the year and early next year im hoping to enter real life exhibitions.
I am already entered in the Happenstance artprize and their exhibition starts in August. I know that i may not stand much if a chance of winning any of the artprizes but have as much chance of competing as the next artist and it is all experience that i would not get if i didn't bother trying.

Luana Pontes
Hey! I'm Luana, an experimental writer based in both London and Essex, looking to get permanently stuck in the literary and performing arts industries!
I graduated from my MA in Creative Writing at Queen Mary University of London with a Distinction, and graduated from the same institution with a 1st Class Hons in BA English with Creative Writing. I am currently a Youth Engagement Officer at London Bubble Theatre Company; working in full time in marketing and communications.
I am in the process of writing my first fictional memoir and specialise in writing in hybrid genres and adopting 'ludic writing strategies' in my work. I am a multi-faceted writer. Poems, short-stories, critical essays, journals, articles, theatre scripts and reviews - I write and read them all. Being an unconventional writer has not been a hiderence to my career development, I have had the pleasure of working as an academic researcher, marketing intern, workshop facilitator programme participant and assistant producer during my studies, too.
My greatest achivement has been being able to set up my Creative Writing workshop platform for aspiring writers across London, nos: Creative Writing. At nos: Creative Writing, I faciliate workshops on different writing techniques, share inspiring writing materials and offer free 1-2-1 feedback on the devlopment of participant's personal writing projects. An enthusiastic supporter of everything literary and creative, I look forward to growing my platform and reaching greater audiences as I have many plans and projects I would like to fulfil in this collaborative space.

Ruby Drakes
I am a young dancer, training at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance (from September 2024), for a BA Hons in Contemporary dance. My interest for contemporary dance sparked from a wish to explore the possibilities of my bodies movement quality, and experiment with gravity and balance. My journey began with Phoenix Youth Academy, where I learnt how to improvise and choreograph, expanding my practise, and improving my confidence within the contemporary style. I am currently interested in contemporary art and how I can link the visual of art to my dance practise. I have 2 years teaching experience (teaching ages 4-13) in acrobatics and contemporary, and in 2023, achieved my AcrobaticArts module one teaching qualification with 100%.
Amber Varney
I'm an 20 year old student studying Graphic communication at Norwich University of the Arts
I started my Instagram account for my work a little over a year ago and since then I have started an Etsy page and a website selling my work to various customers around the world. Since then, I have continued commissions alongside focusing on my degree.
Myself and my friend set up a fundraising/ charity organisation in Brighton which invites young creatives to paint and draw in various styles and with various mediums. One session had upwards of 20 participants, we observe social distancing of course. We then sell these pieces (one painting sold for £50!) and donate all proceeds go to local Brighton charity BMEYPP (black and minority ethnic young people's project).
I really would love to further my experience in the creative field by possibly doing an apprenticeship or internship alongside my degree to gain experience and put my skills to practice.

Terry Sewell Terry Sewell
I'm a working-class Norfolk son The Barsham Boy, born 16th April 1955, in a time that many will be able to relate to. A time that to me stood still in the most captivating and inspiring era I now consider to have been the most incredible period of my life and an honour to have ever been part of growing up in, the sweet rural village of East Barsham to which I grew to love both its people and its mesmerising beauty both in nature and scenery. For 26 years I lived and grew to adulthood in this place so close to my heart which bears the fruit of the written words I write about inspired by my bittersweet journey through life. I began writing as young as five years old, in my early years I wrote mainly poetry but my ambition was always to hopefully become an established successful writer. As an infant growing up under the disciplinarian ways of my heartless father who used to beat me and call me useless, writing became an escape for me and a way of finding happiness and a purpose for living. Once I left the family fold at 26 years of age I had to work all my life for a living to make ends meet for my own wives and family. My writing suffered a lot and I became frustrated that I could never seem to find the time to achieve all I wanted in the subject. However, whenever I could I wrote both poetry and short stories and loved those moments of peace and tranquility so much but as hard as I tried I couldn't find an agent or publisher. Just over six years ago I decided it was now or never to publish my work, it was not quite how I had hoped but at least my work was finally out there for people to read by independently publishing stories myself. Since doing this I have met some lovely people through being invited to local schools, libraries, and events to do author talks, workshops, and book signings to which was so exciting. I am now retired loving the time I have left to write everything I have always wanted, currently writing my new thriller The Bride, Lady Leaves, and a children's book entitled The Curse of Karlevil. Whether I am ever lucky enough to obtain an agent and publisher or not I will continue to write out of love for the written word which has comforted me so much throughout my life from the heart until I'm unable to write anymore. But at least by then, I would have given it a dam good try.

Looking for opportunities to get myself more involved in the art world and finding new ways to make a difference with my art :)
