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.

Ryan Boultbee
‘For me, Ryan’s work had an after effect; when the everything came down, the space was transformed into a kind of ready-made,
so his work changed my experience of every show that followed.’
His creative process is led by an exploration of materials, often found in the building he's exploring. He works in a space related to the built environment, but different from it;
tinting the viewer’s experience and prompting their imagination. Ryan's actions encourage a different way of seeing by inviting the viewer to investivate
beneath the surface of an experience.

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.

Lina Vourlou
I am a moving image and installation artist playing with the physicality of colour and exploring metaphysical theories around reality. Fascinated by the similarities between the micro and macro cosmos, my work consists of vast masses of colour abstraction which entail transient and ambivalent forms that are left open to viewers' perceptions.
Collaborating with various music artists, I have created immersive installations for multiple music events at a number of art spaces in Nottingham.
I am an NTU Fine Art graduate actively looking for exciting job and/or collaboration opportunities where people can englulf themselves in my other-worldly, psychedellic imagination.
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.

Taylor Davies
Hi, my name is Taylor. I studied Fine Art at North Wales School of Art where I got a 1st class honours degree. I work in oil paint, creating abstract landscape paintings around the theme of water and the sea. What interests me about the sea, is how it can be both calming yet powerful and aggressive at the same time - I try to bring these very different emotions together in one painting in order to create an artwork that has depth to it, and draws you in. The use of a blue palette creates a calming piece of work to look at, and means it is also suitable for any style of room; whether that is a commercial space or someone's living room.
While oil paints are my go-to medium, I also enjoy doing typography and various bits of lettering for people. I have written a couple of the food court signs for my local market and gallery space, Ty Pawb. Examples of this can be seen on my Instagram (@taylorstellaart) highlighted stories labeled typography.
I am also happy to take commissions for both large scale abstract paintings and small scale ones.
