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
Sheena Bulpitt
Ever curious and a bit of a rebel...I am an artist who embraces freedom of expression and encourages others to be who they are too.
My paintings provide reminders of beauty, strength and resilience. An invitation to explore who you are, our connections to each other and to nature.

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.
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.

Chloe Goodwin
Hi! I am a 22 year old mixed media artist from Wrexham, North Wales, with a degree in Fine Art from North Wales School of Art and Design. With a focus on drawing and collage, I create sophisticated responses to the overlooked areas of processes and the art studio. I highlight details that have served a practical purpose whilst making portraits which serve as the vehicle of my work. My work is reliant on context, cretaed with a strong influence from the surrounding environment; highly tailored to the exhibition space.
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.

Caroline Lenon
Caroline is complex. The singer, song-writer and producer based in London is ready to show her audience how versatile she is in 2020. Her power to make people cry, laugh, and heal is what makes her unique and is one to watch for.
Caroline released her first ever single “Like That” in 2020. She described “Like That” as having an immediate connection with someone. The connection is so strong that you are drawn to them in a way that you have never felt before. The connection develops over time and you just like that feeling. Like that does not have an explicit lyrics but it does not abandon the sexiness that it brings to the listeners. Caroline gave hints on how to please her and emphasised the importance of taking things slow.
Caroline then dropped “No competition (freestyle)” where she expressed her frustrations about people who constantly drained her energy. She reached her limit and can no longer tolerate this type of energy so she needed to release all that anger and frustrations which led her in creating this masterpiece. “This song emphasis that I am not in competition with anyone. I run my own race and I am focus on improving myself. This song is made to encourage everyone that whatever life throws at them, they just have to stay focus and motivated. Remove all the negative energy, cut off all the toxic people and focus on their grind. Everyone is unique and different, there’s no need to compete. We will all make it in the end.”

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.
