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

Elizabeth Middleton
Hello! My name is Lizzie Middleton and I love photography. I have been interested in it from the start of secondary school, taking part in a few sessions and photoshoots in school and out of school with friends and classmates, but only really properly got into it when I chose photography as an A level at sixth form. When I had my first lesson I knew that I wanted to persue photography in the future and I have been working towards that goal ever since. I mainly just do photoshoots with friends at the moment, but I can't wait to start shooting new models. My goal is to move to London in the near future, either doing photography as a job, or doing it at university. I "specialise" in portrait photography, as I love the emotion that can be shown through the face and body, but I am starting to get into fashion photography, as fashion and textiles is also a passion of mine. I love that there are no rules and no two photos can be the same. I hope you enjoy my photos!
Emily Kelsall
My name is Emily, I'm 17 and studying media at a level. I hope to work in the industry in the future, but for now I'm looking for work experience and mainly practice. I make short videos and films at home in my spare time as well as editing and posting things to tik tok. I am inexperienced and untrained but I definitely have potential and love to learn.
Tom Partridge
I'm a graphic designer in my final year of secondary school, originally being from Walthamstow, now based around Norwich. My work is largely centered around designing alternate/concept album covers for pre-existing albums, which I display on my Instagram - @phonyericsson. From getting noticed on Instagram for my album cover concepts, I've had the opportunity to designed covers and track listings for up-and-coming artists, a few examples being: Namani, $ebbuku & Jake Laud.
As well as desiging music related pieces, I also work on my own briefs to add to my portfolio, such as my "The Art of Noise" project, my short, experimental animation "ERICSSON7" and I'm currently working on a new, self-set brief called "Society90".
Growing up going to the Tate Modern, music festivals, walking around London seeing endless street art, plus my Dad being a graphic designer/painter and Mum being a writer, I have always been immersed in the Arts, especially music and design.
My plan is to start building a more solid brand to work on, possibly selling t-shirts, stickers, posters etc. I hope new opportunities arise in the future and I can create a career based in the Arts with more promotion and support.
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.

I am a photographic artist and a recent photography graduate of Manchester Metropolitan University. I have been making photographs since the age of 14. My practice is rooted in a curiosity, constructing meaning from the familiar, and how photography can shift our understanding of the spaces we inhabit.

My work often explores themes of identity, urban life, and the interplay between memory and reality, blending bold colours and textured layers to evoke emotion and dialogue.
My final year exhibition was praised for its innovative use of reclaimed materials and subtle social commentary.

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. 🎬
Matt Curtis
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.
