Our Artists

 

Maria Clemente

 

A 2025 graduate of Chelsea College of Arts, UAL, Maria creates oil paintings using personal archives and family photographs to explore themes of reconstructed memory, nostalgia, and home. Through the careful collaging of figures, spaces, and objects, she question perceptions of reality and belonging.


Influenced by Latin American muralism and vibrant color palettes, her work captures the nuances of her hazy and inherited memories of Venezuela, while symbolising the constant presence of Hispanic influences in both her paintings and personal life. She
invites viewers into a visual narrative that transcends spatial boundaries and serves as an act of remembrance, honouring personal and collective memory, and preserving spaces that no longer exist.

Emily Edgar

 

Emily graduated from Central St Martins, UAL in 2025. Her practice is driven by a need to confront, archive, and explore systems—familial, architectural, digital, and political—that shape how we inhabit the world and ourselves. Drawing from her personal experience, Ukrainian heritage, and the psychological weight of both physical and virtual environments, she explore the entanglement of memory, identity, and power.
 
Much of her work begins with small fragments. These fragments, such as derelict wallpapers of homes, bruised skin, digital messages or mens corporate fashion, each act as entry points into broader narratives: intergenerational trauma, cultural erasure, digital violation, and gendered power structures. Continuously the artist is asking: What do we choose to look away from? What are we taught to dismiss as ugly, broken, or insignificant—and what systems or façades shape our perception?

Megan Gant

Megan is an Art and Design graduate of Cornwall College and her pieces draw inspiration from the overlooked corners of her native Cornwall, the abandoned buildings and mine-workings, where paint peels, and cracks form in the plaster, revealing long forgotten memories,. She creates her vessels through a build-up of expressive marks using slips, underglaze, and glazes. These layers capture the essence of these dilapidated spaces and immortalise their fragility. 

 

Amongst other places, Megan’s work has been exhibited at the Royal Cornwall Museum in Truro, the Falmouth Gallery and the Penwith Gallery in St Ives,

Elin Jones

Elin is a Welsh artist with Finnish heritage and a recent graduate Fine Art Painting from Camberwell, UAL.

 

Her paintings express themes of childhood, memory and light often inspired by archived photographs of loved ones, capturing family generations and personal connections. These photographs inform her small-scale paintings embodying precious and sentimental moments, allowing her to reflect and recall these snippets in time. They show close relationships, friends and family, with images marked beyond the lens committing these memories to a painted form. She uses oil paint, varying between works on paper and works on board, using loose brushstrokes to depict a sense of a blurred memory, providing the viewer with comfort but also keeping an ambiguity as to where and who these figures are.

 

Many of her pieces are influenced by her Finnish relations, and many summers spent in Finland with her family. They move between figures in landscapes and interior spaces but unify in a focus on light and colour, reflecting her personal experiences and how she identifies with both her Welsh and Finnish roots.

Nohana Sayama

 
Nohana is a Japanese watercolour painter, graduating from the University of the Arts London with BA in Painting in July 2025.
 
Like human memory, spaces can 'forget.' After time away, they feel different, reflecting a world where individuals often feel insignificant. Nohana’s theme, titled 'vignette', embodies a longing for belonging and remembrance shaped by her experience of growing up in an expatriate family.
 
For Nohana, each place she lived became an antechamber filled with bittersweet memories. Her art serves as a record of her existence—snapshots of places she had to leave behind. She portrays companions as silent observers, inspired by Jizo and Dosojin statues that were traditionally created to protect travellers and their neighbours. Using Gansai watercolours connects her to her Japanese heritage while revealing her fluid, multicultural identity through its non-traditional application. The layers and dramatic lighting represent the fogginess of memory and emotional uncertainty.
