Well, what do I say here......I'm just a human creating amazing art. I've been doing art most of my life on and off. It comes from the soul and is chanelled through me. I love art because it makes people stop for a moment and live in the present. People see what that want to as we never see the same thing twice. I love creating something that no one else has. All my works are original and one offs.
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.

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

Kiera Harmer
Hi! I'm Kiera Harmer, multidisciplinary fine artist and musician.
On Creative Portal, I am promoting my graphic design and illustration commercial work.
I am a curious, introspective, conceptual fine artist dedicated to the ‘art is life’ mantra. Originally driven to create subversive art, the phenomenology of creativity has become an imperative discussion in my sketchbooks. In fine art I am submerged in the overwhelming freedom to exercise methods, rituals, and processes in order to find profound ‘Truths’, via Art that is also pedalled by Music and Sexuality.
The graphic design, illustration, and commercialism surface as artefacts from the realms of my Art. Each accessible and commercial piece comes from a soulful concept. The designs are malleable and I believe can be applied to many different products and businesses.

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.

""Artists are just children who refuse to put down their crayons.""
― Al Hirschfeld
Canadian/Portuguese Award Winning graphic designer with a wide and ecletic creative range of interests, that covers film editing, digital art, photography (street, architecture, food).
On the design field my strengths are editorial, branding marketing and photography. Also with a Journalist degree and 20 years of experience on the area between radio host book reviewer and article cultural critic writting.
Graduated in 2019, soon after Covid strikes, that's why most of my work there isn't so much design in it, since Covid difficultied getting into the area in Canada.
Still all this samples show other creative fields I love to explore.
I don't have a particular style and I am too ecletic and experimental to be put on one creative box. Am easy adaptable and fast learner always interested in exploring the thin boundary, where design it's art and art it's design.
Moving to Scotland next year, if anyone knows about the creative job market there I really need some guidance.
