Stephanie Unaeze is a Nigerian female Painter and Illustrator who creates wonderful and whimsical mixed media pieces, exploring themes pertaining to the proverbial self and its place in society, as the object as well as the subject. Looking at the self through the lenses of personal relationships, societal realities and self-actualisation. With aims to further understand shared and common realities that surpass basic socio normative identities, she acknowledges the constant state of becoming that exists in the natural world as a microcosm of the self. Through her form, which is likened to the pop-surrealist movement, she transverses through the subconscious and unconscious (dreamlike) state of being but depicts them in both the mundane and superficial to create striking images.

‘Covid 19 hit the country before I could even graduate from university. Once home and with the job market looking bleak, I was still keen to keep my creative side going. I took to the garden shed to create new designs in different mediums. Throughout the summer of 2020, I used Alcohol inks to produce a range of designs, using various techniques and continued this into the festive season, adding silver and gold to bring some sparkle. Being an abstract designer, I love the bright colours and textures alcohol inks create. I took my design forward by producing cards and coasters to sell in my local area. Continuing to be creative during lockdown has helped my mental health and kept my passion for textiles alive. Going into 2021 is much the same as the year before. I wanted to focus and take this time to add new designs to my portfolio and getting my work recognised’. Francesca Gillett

Gary Nicolls is a technical artist with a camera rather than a photographer. He sees the image in his mind then sets about taking all the images to create what he has visualised. This takes Nicolls all over the world to get elements for each composition. Deliberately, Nicolls art tells a story, whether it is a 6 image series or a 450 page trilogy. He is inspired by the way Caravaggio and Vermeer were able to focus the viewer on the subject of their art by the use of light. This realisation completely changed the way he worked. Dali made Nicholls realise that if you can imagine it, you can create it, you just need to learn how.

Joel Biddle is a photographic artist working in Kent in the United Kingdom, recently graduated in photography at the Arts University of Bournemouth. His work is an exploration of the contrast between the still and the fluid, the harsh texture of geological structures, and the glassy smooth of the surface of the sea. His work follows the research for a calming sense of tranquillity and a sense of quietness that reflects the locations in his works. These fractures of time transport the viewer to an unknown, with an absence of context being important. A sense of isolation is established, but it isn’t bleak isolation, it’s more of a break from the chaos, a choice rather than something forced.

Tara Leaver is a British artist whose abstract landscape paintings evoke the sensory experiences of immersing in the natural landscape of her home on the coast of Cornwall. She is happiest near – or preferably in – the sea, where she swims as often as she can. Leaver immerses herself in the multi-sensory experience of it, taking photos underwater, looking and feeling into the abundance of life above and below the waves. Back in the studio, Leaver weaves together elements from the photos, memories, and gathered seaweed, to distil those experiences into paintings.
