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.

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.

Arminta Vagryte
Hey, 👋🏼 my name is Arminta and I am 19 years old. Currently, I am studying at Vilnius University, Lithuania Psychology course.
From a really young age, I was fascinated by movies and visual content. I love how filmmakers tell stories and are capable of transferring emotions to the other side of the screen. I believe that movies are not just for killing free time... Movies form personalities, draw attention to serious and important social problems and also impart pleasure while watching.
For this reason, I started creating some visual content myself. 🤗 Hope you will enjoy it 👀!
I know that I am just a beginner, but I have so much motivation, desire, and enthusiasm to move forward, learn, and try myself in different situations.
I would be so excited and grateful to participate in some kind of events that you are suggesting or joining an internship to become a part of beautiful project creation. 🎬
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.

Elizabeth Middleton
Hello! My name is Lizzie Middleton and I love photography. I have been interested in it from the start of secondary school, taking part in a few sessions and photoshoots in school and out of school with friends and classmates, but only really properly got into it when I chose photography as an A level at sixth form. When I had my first lesson I knew that I wanted to persue photography in the future and I have been working towards that goal ever since. I mainly just do photoshoots with friends at the moment, but I can't wait to start shooting new models. My goal is to move to London in the near future, either doing photography as a job, or doing it at university. I "specialise" in portrait photography, as I love the emotion that can be shown through the face and body, but I am starting to get into fashion photography, as fashion and textiles is also a passion of mine. I love that there are no rules and no two photos can be the same. I hope you enjoy my photos!
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.

Matt Curtis
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.
