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.

I am currently a Youth Engagement Officer at London Bubble Theatre Company; working in full time in marketing and communications.

Poems, short-stories, critical essays, journals, articles, theatre scripts and reviews - I write and read them all.

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.
Cam Fitzhugh
I have always considered myself to be a creative person. Most of my time was spent creating videos or formulating short stories and film scripts in my younger and formative years. Having grown up immersing myself in film and TV, writing or creating my own, I felt, was a fantastic way to feel involved within an industry I deeply admired. This same admiration led me to complete an MA in ‘Writing for Performance and Publication’ at the University of Leeds. Beyond my love for script creation, my time on the course also allowed me to gain vital experience within every sphere of filmmaking, whether filming, editing or even acting, whilst also allowing me to grow and develop my craft as a screenwriter.
Since finishing my MA I have held copywriting positions at various digital marketing companies, however, I still seek to get involved within the creative industry in any way I can. Be it script writing, editing, producing, directing or even starring, I crave the environments that will enable to gain invaluable insight and experience within the industry I admire.
Kassi Neumann
Hello! I am an American photographer, poet, and visual artist living in London, UK. I've just graduated from the University of East London with a BA Photography degree, and I will be starting my MA Photography course in January 2021. I'm looking for work placement or employment, collaborations with other artists, and galleries to either work at or to exhibit my work in.
Mark Noble
Mark Noble is an English artist based in Somerset, UK. His works shine a new light on the under-valued aspects of the world in which we live. Often specialising in landscape paintings and abstract work, he infuses his worlds with a melancholic and spiritual beauty.
After a difficult time at school (dealing with autism and severe dyslexia) and spending nearly 20 years working in a local plastics factory, Mark set out to pursue his dream of becoming an artist. Inspired by the work of Turner, he expresses the mystical, dream-like and sublime, through delicate attention to the commonplace or overlooked.
Mark has exhibited paintings across the UK and Europe and has received interest from as far afield as South America. He is currently running art workshops to encourage those who, like him, have creative dreams yet to be fully realised.
Work was recently sold at a large exhibition in London (the OXO Gallery) to raise awareness of Parkinson’s Disease and paintings are on display in several other galleries around England. In March 2021, Mark became an ambassador for a charity called 'Outside In' – their aim is to assist and promote disabled artists. He is also busy working on private commissions, exhibiting, developing new ideas and getting children involved with art (one Lottery-funded project involved children painting a mural at a local school in Glastonbury).
Moving forward, Mark wants to promote environmentally friendly art as much as possible. His ‘Driftwood Collection’ features art painted on recycled materials such as old tiles, window frames, bark and even old coffee table tops!
Ruth Breen
I am a colourist visual artist inspired by nature, particularly flowers. I am a self-taught artist, and I live in Staffordshire Moorlands, I originally lived in London. I use acrylic paints as my main medium. My paintings are bright and vibrant. I am in the Neurodiversity spectrum as I am dyslexic, which means I am a dyslexic thinker and have an ability to think outside the box. I also have physical disabilities, and I am unable to use a standing easel as I cannot stand for long periods, so I prefer to paint downwards using a table. I have found I engage with acrylic paints as they can produce the bright colours I see in nature, particularly flowers which are my main inspiration. My work has been described as arts and crafts, mixed with pop art and impression. I have been told my paintings make people smile, which is a wonderful reaction to get from your artwork. I am currently creating a series 10 paintings for a pop-up exhibition

My name is Athena, I'm 17 years old and currently studying my last year of UAL'S level 3 extended diploma in art and design in college. I like to dabble in loads of different art mediums from collage to prints, graphic design, painting and just straight up sketching. I love to experiment with anything I can incorporate art into. I am still quite inexperianced and unsure of what direction I want to go with my skills. However, I do have an interest in graphic design and also set design for film sounds quite intriguing. Futhermore, I love to expresss myself through fashion, piercings and dyed hair. In my spare time I love to listen and discover new music, practice my skateboarding skills, go spray painting and watch anime( japanese animation).
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.
