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 a recently graduated artist whose creative journey began in the vibrant streets of Manchester.

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.
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. 🎬

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!
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.
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

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.
