    Samiya Younis, a British-born Pakistani artist based in London, draws inspiration from her South Asian heritage. Her multidisciplinary practice, spanning sculpture, installation, painting, and performance, explores identity, hybridity, memory, belonging, and fragility through materiality, storytelling, and acts of quiet resistance that challenge dominant narratives.

    I am a multi-media artist based in Yorkshire working in sculpture, performance, photography, video, printmaking and artist’s books. Much of my work is inspired by and takes place in, the landscape around me. Often I am the only audience for my on-site installations, works translated into artist’s books and digitally printed images, crossing the boundary between documentary and primary artwork.

    Hello, I’m Lauren — a contemporary textile artist based in Sheffield. Through slow, mindful stitching, I weave colour, texture, and emotion into fabric — a meditative escape and a form of self-expression. My art celebrates sustainability, nature, craftmanship, and the beauty of creating simply for the joy of it.

    I am a multidisciplinary artist based in Manchester UK, investigating the intersection of human activity with the non-human using a pared-down aesthetic and a range of media. My practice considers the Anthropocene/Planthropocene, Deep Time and vibrant matter, searching for understanding of ecological systems, processes and phenomena in relation to the environmental crises.

    I am a graduate professional artist with BA Fine Art First Class Honours 2006. I'm inspired by the landscape and create work that abstracts what I see and experience. Often working en plein air I create dynamic & colourful compositions. I'm inspired by abstract expressionism with rapid expressive mark making & striking colours of Fauvism. I have a strong exhibition catalogue over 20 shows in 2025.

    I am a visual artist, illustrator and urban sketcher living and working in Yorkshire, UK. My work deals primarily with the landscapes and built environments in the North of England: I seek to capture the atmosphere and 'feel' of these places in a way that goes beyond description, capturing their essence and creating emotional resonance with the viewer. My preferred medium is watercolour and ink.
