Ruby Bellamy

Ruby Rose Bellamy is a visual artist based in Fenland; she graduated from Norwich University of the Arts with a First Class Honours in Fine Art. Her creative practice focuses on celebrating the importance of handiwork, particularly quilt making and embroidery.

Her work draws inspiration from the home, her sense of self, and local landscapes, she enjoys finding connections between nature and her inner dialogue. Her work stands as a record of what she sees, thinks and feels.

Kayleigh Brooks

Kayleigh Brooks is an emerging artist from Wisbech. Her work explores the instability of human contact and loneliness through large scale text works and figurative paintings.
Her current work draws on sex, substance abuse and human touch. Brooks explores how we romanticise what we cannot quite reach and how fleeting moments become fragmented memories. Her oil paintings show how human contact can be tender as well as compulsive, transactional, destructive or performative. This instability is how the work manifests itself into reconstructed encounters whether they are romanticised or distorted.

Lily Rolfe

Lily Rolfe is a portrait artist based in Norfolk who works primarily with oil paint and collage. Within her work, Lily’s main interest is how she can portray emotion in moments of stress or anxiety. Collage is used within her work to physically represent how events and emotions can layer up to result in an emotional outcome. When possible, Lily also uses this to include fabrics, clothing, and images that are relevant to the sitter.
