Was one of seven finalists for the inaugural Spectrum Art Prize in 2018. She trained at the Glasgow School of Art and has received awards, including a scholarship to study Fine Art at the University of Ohio, US and in 2013, the Jolomo Bank of Scotland prize for landscape painting. A fascination with the sea led her to study the science of waves, relaying the forces that create waves through mathematical equations and by using the Beaufort Wind Force Scale. These calculations are then used to create precise paintings that convey the power and brutality of the waves. She lives and works in Scotland.

Completed a BA in Fine Art at the University of Pennsylvania in 2016 and graduated from the Royal College of Art, London with an MA in Fine Art in 2019. Broadway creates freestanding and wall-mounted sculptural works using stufed, drawn or painted fabrics, often using stock images of people and animals found on the internet. The result is a startling mixture of the sophisticated and ungainly, with the apparently mundane transformed into something special and memorable. Her work has been shown in numerous group exhibition internationally, including; The Codex Project, Works on Paper Gallery, Philadelphia (2020), Surge, East Wing Biennial, The Courtauld Institute of Art, London (2018) and Studies, of Itoshima, Studio Kura, Itoshima, Japan (2016). She currently lives and works in Dallas, USA.

Is a contemporary English artist who explores exploding drawing, painting, video, film and photography. Matthews creates paintings while immersed in water, often floating on, or submerged in, oceans. This timescale of this process can range from several hours to a few days. He works with art materials strapped about his person, and allows the movement of the ocean and its waves to paint his pictures for him. His work has been exhibited in Wirksworth, Turin, Dortmund, Folkestone and Laguna Beach. He has lectured for university audiences, including at the University of California, San Diego, and was the artist-in-residence at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

Currently studies film and media at Bridgwater & Taunton College. Harry makes films and animations which demonstrate a sophisticated eye for characterisation, coupled with deadpan humour. Frequently self-narrated, his subject matter is often drawn from personal experience, including bringing vividly to life the difficulties he experienced as an autistic child coping with school. He lives in Taunton, Somerset. Harry’s work can be found on YouTube.

Mood is the impetus for Janice Hughes’ work. With a keen sense of observation for the overlooked and forgotten, she searches both in nature and her own home for elements that will find their way into her work. Anything from a weed growing through the cracks of the sidewalk, to a snippet of a family movie, to the stubs of coloured pencils discarded at the bottom of a box. Using these foraged materials, giving them a new purpose, both limits and frees Hughes’ creative process. The recycling of the existing, a central part of her practice. Once the tools for creating have been sourced, then begins the process of layering and re-layering, both physically and digitally, working until the right feeling is evoked through sensory stimuli as opposed to a narrative structure.
