Artist Information

Mr Fellows

Mr Fellows’ oil paintings explore identity and the courage it takes to inhabit your truest self. Each piece is a study in self-confidence: how we construct it, protect it, and proudly wear it in the world.

Mr Fellows studied BA Illustration at Falmouth University and featured in the 2020 series of Sky Arts’ Portrait Artist of the Year where he painted award-winning actress Sian Clifford.

Ms Goodall

Ms Goodall is a multidisciplinary artist, the quote that best describes her practice is from Louise Bourgeois – ‘Art and life blend together in a strange and magical way’

In this series titled ‘Alone into the Alone’

The body is an imperfect refuge, vulnerable and fugacious, the impermanence is palpable.

The act of making takes pleasure in the meditative repetition and observance of pattern and colour. Tiny lines and stitches bare witness and make something physical and tactile. The depictions focus on the physicality of matter while the subject is on the brink of disappearance.

The process of looking and documenting the ebbing of life is a way of engaging with this transitional moment. Observing and recording the tiniest textural details provides a welcome focus as the process becomes both a means of connection with and respite from the unfathomableness of this moment depicted.

Education: BA(Hons) Winchester School of Art

Ms Harmer

Ms Harmer creates collages exploring themes of speculative futures, escapism and imaginary worlds. She aims to make her work beautiful or alluring at the same time as expressing danger, her fears or guilt. London’s Burning II depicts England’s life flashing before its eyes on the brink of apocalypse – from Stonehenge, past 70s Piccadilly Circus through to a fiery crater of disaster.

Ms Harmer is a London-based artist and art teacher. She studied BA Illustration in Brighton and went on to complete MA Communication Design at Central Saint Martins.

Mr Haworth

An abstract visual language applied to authentic scenarios, Mr Haworth makes work which attempts to pin down or capture a particular fleeting moment of experience, whether observed or from memory.

Methodology employed could be paint, drawing, etching needle or recently collage. Pieces are experimental and are frequently re-worked over time.

Mr Haworth studied at the RCA under Peter de Francia and John Golding.

Ms Lam

Ms Lam’s art centers on the Cantonese proverb “A ghost covers one’s eyes” (鬼揞眼) translating unseen silences and misreadings into material forms. Her practice investigates perception’s edges, using uncertainty to foster deeper understanding. Tears of ____ (2025), featuring Wilson So’s calligraphy, explores the weight of neurodivergent burnout and masking. Conversely, Breathe (2025) offers a space to pause through 108 lotuses – Buddhist symbols of renewal where growth arises from struggle. Lam does not seek answers; she holds space for the complexity of human connection.

Holding an MA in Fine Art & Social Practice, her work is featured in collections including Asia Art Archive (HK) and the Museum of the Home.

Ms Mackie

Ms Mackie has created a series of works called ‘Art-i-ficial Nature’ which celebrates the glitches and imperfections of nature and reflects on how artificial, human intervention and AI have warped our perception of beauty.

These monoprints are made using an old-fashioned wheel-turned printing press, printing ink, pre-prepared paper with neon acrylic, chalk, charcoal and Indian ink.

Ms Mackie has an MA in Design: Sustainable Futures from University of the Arts, London and an MFA Fine Art from the Ruskin School of Art at the University of Oxford.

Miss Ward

Miss Ward’s practice is shaped by her background in art history. This figurative series reinterprets ethereal figures from Mannerist artworks and celebrates their timeless beauty. Emerging in the sixteenth century, Mannerism—derived from the Italian maniera, meaning “style”—embraced deliberate stylisation in the pursuit of elegance.

This series is produced in oil paint on paper. Miss Ward studied History of Art at the University of Western Australia and the University of Vermont.
