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

Taylor Davies
Hi, my name is Taylor. I studied Fine Art at North Wales School of Art where I got a 1st class honours degree. I work in oil paint, creating abstract landscape paintings around the theme of water and the sea. What interests me about the sea, is how it can be both calming yet powerful and aggressive at the same time - I try to bring these very different emotions together in one painting in order to create an artwork that has depth to it, and draws you in. The use of a blue palette creates a calming piece of work to look at, and means it is also suitable for any style of room; whether that is a commercial space or someone's living room.
While oil paints are my go-to medium, I also enjoy doing typography and various bits of lettering for people. I have written a couple of the food court signs for my local market and gallery space, Ty Pawb. Examples of this can be seen on my Instagram (@taylorstellaart) highlighted stories labeled typography.
I am also happy to take commissions for both large scale abstract paintings and small scale ones.

Influences include Anselm Kiefer, the great JMW Turner, Caspar David Freidrich and more.

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.

Prith Paramsothy
Art’s always been a passion of mine from a young age, with portraiture being my favourite. I find drawing people so interesting, especially when I'm drawing on the go, in a bar or on the train. You get to see different walks or life, features, styles, and to this day even with my digital work I’m inspired by what I see on the street.
A lot of my work throughout the years have been inspired by pop culture, music and lyricism. I’ve also taken an interest in fashion over time, and am slowly learning how to animate.
