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.

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.
Karolina Kanska
I am from Ukraine but now live in England. Photography is my passion. Since my childhood I wanted to leave memories of the best moments, because unfortunately our eyes can not do it for us, and from the memory some of them can be forgotten.
I take a photo of how much I remember, but professionally only for 2 years.
The most important thing for me is to show my essence and emotions for the world. When photographing people, I put all my soul into the process.

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.
Cam Fitzhugh
I have always considered myself to be a creative person. Most of my time was spent creating videos or formulating short stories and film scripts in my younger and formative years. Having grown up immersing myself in film and TV, writing or creating my own, I felt, was a fantastic way to feel involved within an industry I deeply admired. This same admiration led me to complete an MA in ‘Writing for Performance and Publication’ at the University of Leeds. Beyond my love for script creation, my time on the course also allowed me to gain vital experience within every sphere of filmmaking, whether filming, editing or even acting, whilst also allowing me to grow and develop my craft as a screenwriter.
Since finishing my MA I have held copywriting positions at various digital marketing companies, however, I still seek to get involved within the creative industry in any way I can. Be it script writing, editing, producing, directing or even starring, I crave the environments that will enable to gain invaluable insight and experience within the industry I admire.

Amber Varney
I'm an 20 year old student studying Graphic communication at Norwich University of the Arts
I started my Instagram account for my work a little over a year ago and since then I have started an Etsy page and a website selling my work to various customers around the world. Since then, I have continued commissions alongside focusing on my degree.
Myself and my friend set up a fundraising/ charity organisation in Brighton which invites young creatives to paint and draw in various styles and with various mediums. One session had upwards of 20 participants, we observe social distancing of course. We then sell these pieces (one painting sold for £50!) and donate all proceeds go to local Brighton charity BMEYPP (black and minority ethnic young people's project).
I really would love to further my experience in the creative field by possibly doing an apprenticeship or internship alongside my degree to gain experience and put my skills to practice.

Ryan Boultbee
‘For me, Ryan’s work had an after effect; when the everything came down, the space was transformed into a kind of ready-made,
so his work changed my experience of every show that followed.’
His creative process is led by an exploration of materials, often found in the building he's exploring. He works in a space related to the built environment, but different from it;
tinting the viewer’s experience and prompting their imagination. Ryan's actions encourage a different way of seeing by inviting the viewer to investivate
beneath the surface of an experience.

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.
