    Hey I'm Olivia, I'm a Yorkshire artist, and my story goes something like: "I didn't know I could paint". To that end, it took me 40+ years to realize I'm an artist! This 'accidental' discovery happened in 2021 when I found myself post-pandemic dabbling with paint. Within months I became a full-time artist. Three years on, and I'm still pinching myself that this is what I get to do.

    Lydia Porter is a contemporary artist based in London, working across video, writing, and bookmaking. These formats are used to investigate the surface of the image as an active site and a means of translation, with a specific focus on tactility and haptic awareness. Her works often focus on a specific place of interest, which then branches out into an in-depth investigation into its ambiguity.

    Ruth Bateman’s paintings are a conflation of an internal and external landscape. Ruth has been striving to be heard. As someone who is neurodivergent, she has felt like an outsider for much of her life. Painting is an expression and celebration of her difference. It is a refusal to be contained or silenced.
