Maddie is a lens-based creative with an interest in documentary work. Their portfolio spans from story-led portrait photography to more dynamic documentary-style filmmaking, utilising both digital and analogue methods. They're also the Founder and Creative Director of Second Best Studios.

As an interdisciplinary autistic artist based in the South West, I follow my sensory desires to underpin my practice. I position autistic special interests as play to encourage engagement in joy as an opposition to oppression. Predominantly working with textiles, my environments emerge from an intuitive trusting of what has so long been questioned and undermined.

I’m Zara, an illustrator and designer based in Devon. I'm originally from a small town called Sandwich, Kent. Yes it’s called Sandwich and the town next to it is called Ham.

​

My illustrations involve quirky characters, vibrant colours, and bold shapes.

A lot of my inspiration comes from the natural world and everyday human experiences. I'm passionate about using illustration to communicate and bring ideas to life with my bold and joyful artwork.

​

I love to working on different projects, and expanding my artistic skills. I have experience with brand merch, editorial, packaging, and posters.

Hello! My name is Hannah Cade. I am a Fine Art graduate who is currently juggling two jobs alongside my art practice. You may see me around Plymouth taking photos, or at your local craft fair selling whatever it is I am making at that moment. 

Nis Murat is a Singaporean-born artist and curator whose practice explores and unpicks their experiences with mental health and neurodiversity.

​

Murat’s artistic practice primarily focuses on perspective, automatic writing, and sonic practices while emphasizing introspection and self-reflection. Their process begins with an idea or concept that consumes them, usually stemming from reflecting on their childhood experiences with undiagnosed ADHD. Their practice often analyses and recounts how they would have navigated the world and their coping mechanisms.

​

Their self-reflective artistic approach extends to their curatorial approach, it being centred around accessibility, inclusivity and empathy. They apply an introspective and empathic approach, hoping to understand the ways in which a curator could make experiencing art accessible to all.
 

Beth Evans is a multidisciplinary artist, illustrator and writer whose practice is informed by both lived experiences and imagined realities. Centred around change, the themes of their work constantly shifts – an integral element of the fast paced, intuitive nature of their making. However, common threads include mundanity, value and identity. Inevitably, Evans’ works become portraits – conversations – between the artist and their friends.

They write under the pseudonym 'Blaike Gillshaw' and also co-founded the Anti Burnout Initiative.

An elusive creative duo based in Plymouth. Do you know them? Maybe...

Charlotte's multi-disciplinary practice examines personal lived experiences, navigating harmful societal perceptions within British culture and historical lineages of subjugation. Re-imagining and dissecting the interaction between power and subversion, both conceptually and with the apparatus of making, the reclaiming of language seems to interpolate across disciplines. Essential to Charlotte's practice, phrases and etymology are used to highlight the use of gendered epithets, as political commentary, provocation and irony- 'a visual dialogue when silence becomes unbearable.'

I'm a fashion photographer, media, and creative director with a passion for pushing creative boundaries. My practice is rooted in collaboration, working alongside like-minded creatives to produce innovative, impactful work that brings bold visions to life.

Hi, I'm Bat, a third year student at AUP studying Animation and Games. I'm a 3D character and environment artist passionate about creating inclusive and forward thinking games for all.
