  • Maker's Monday: Johanna Cragg⁠⠀ @johannacragg⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Johanna is a contemporary artist living in Brighton, UK., with a BA. from Glyndwr Art School⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ As an expressionist artist she paints instinctively, and is often influenced by stories and events in her life; the people she meets, and living in vibrant Brighton. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ She uses all this chemistry to create a mood in her paintings. She respects the conscious as an important creative decision maker. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Her main intent is to get the feeling right in her paintings. she can do this by use of colour, pose and symbolism.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ She believes painting is a form of communication, so she tries not to isolate herself in her expression and think of the viewer as the painting evolves. She hopes to join together on a journey of thought and feeling⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #MakersMonday #SolDesign #SolDesignCollective #Sol_DesignCollective #fromtheheartofbrighton #brightonart #brightonartists #brightongallery #brightonandhove #brightonartist #brighton #brightongallery #artlovers #artlife #artoninstagram #art #artist #contemporaryart #artgallery #brightonevents #makersgonnamake #artofbrighton #illustrator #brightonart #Brighton #johannacragg #johannacraggArt #johannacraggArtist ⁠⠀⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ​

  • Maker's Monday // Pauline Devaney⁠⠀ @paulinedevaney⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Pauline began painting in 2001, and has concentrated on it ever since, working every day in her studio in Lewes, East Sussex. She exhibits both in the UK and France, and her work is collected internationally. Pauline was also a finalist in the 2017 National Art Competition.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Pauline won a scholarship to The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London when she was seventeen, afterwards working as a professional actress both in the Theatre and Television for about forty years.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ She taught creative writing to professional actors, both at the Actors Centre, and The Actors Institute in London, and performed extensively, both in the UK and abroad, in her award winning one woman play that she wrote for herself, ’To Marie with Love’. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Her greatest regret is that she didn’t have the opportunity to become an artist when she was young. However, she realises that although not directly connected, her experience in the theatre and television, both as a writer and actress, has uniquely informed her work as a painter now⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #MakersMonday #SolDesign #SolDesignCollective #Sol_DesignCollective #fromtheheartofbrighton #brightonart #brightonartists #brightongallery #brightonandhove #brightonartist #brighton #brightongallery #artlovers #artlife #artoninstagram #art #artist #contemporaryart #artgallery #brightonevents #makersgonnamake #artofbrighton #illustrator #brightonart #Brighton #paulinedevaney #paulinedevaneypainter #painter #paulinedevaneyArtist ⁠#lewes
