I'm a young woman artist, fascinated with decay and collapse, with our built environment, with dark explorative portraiture, with the ocean, with gothic and feminist literature, with cave drawings... I could go on.
I create paintings, photographs and drawings, responding to any of the above.
Influences include Anselm Kiefer, the great JMW Turner, Caspar David Freidrich and more.
I also have a creative writing practice, a background in literature and in sustainable business and marketing.
Steven Woods
Hi, I'm Ste... started painting in summer 2020 when I was made redundant from job of 13 years. I have 4 children and was hoping to marry their mother summer 2021 but unsure whether it will still go ahead.
I enjoy painting with watercolor... it is an interesting medium and can be very unforgiving if you make a mistake so need to stay focused when producing work.
I prefer painting landscape/seascape and wildlife but will also do occasional portraits. Looking to sell current/ future work and also taking commissions
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!

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.

Olivia Carter
Hi, my name is Liv! I am a 20 year old digital artist with a huge passion for creating my own stories and character designs. One of the best compliments I think I could recieve is that someone finds my characters or my stories interesting and entertaining, especially when focusing in on a specific aspect of said character and/or story. As an artist, I'm incredibly inspired by anime and some of my favourite video games; some in particular being Danganronpa (which me and my friends are actually working on a fan-project for,) Genshin Impact, Angels of Death and Bungo Stray Dogs. <3
I am currently in university studying Game Design and Development so I can work to create something that is just as inspiring and enjoyable to others as my favourite titles have been for me.
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

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 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%.
