About the collective
Outsider Creatives is a house of small fires: twenty makers working in pigment, clay, thread, light, paper and salvaged matter. Each practice keeps its own weather, but the rooms speak to one another through colour, rhythm, surface and touch.
Wander by medium, follow a hunch, open a work up close, then pin anything that catches your eye. The fictional listings and prices are here to show how a real collective website could feel: less catalogue, more studio visit.

Mara Voss Layered acrylic landscapes and hand-cut paper reliefs.
Mara Voss
Medium / focus: Layered acrylic landscapes and hand-cut paper reliefs.
Mara builds imagined coastlines from translucent colour, cut paper and fine graphite marks. Her work explores how familiar places change when remembered rather than observed directly.
Selected works
Jonah Reed Wheel-thrown ceramics with carved architectural surfaces.
Jonah Reed
Medium / focus: Wheel-thrown ceramics with carved architectural surfaces.
Jonah makes functional and sculptural vessels influenced by stairwells, civic buildings and the repeated geometry of city streets. Each surface is carved by hand after throwing.
Selected works
Aisha Bell Textile collage, stitch and naturally dyed cloth.
Aisha Bell
Medium / focus: Textile collage, stitch and naturally dyed cloth.
Aisha combines repaired fabric, plant-dyed cotton and visible hand stitching. Her pieces celebrate useful materials, inherited techniques and the small histories carried by cloth.
Selected works
Theo Mercer Black-and-white street photography and experimental print processes.
Theo Mercer
Medium / focus: Black-and-white street photography and experimental print processes.
Theo photographs overlooked pauses in public space: an empty chair, a half-lit passage or a reflection that briefly rearranges a street. Prints are produced in small fictional editions.
Selected works
Lina Park Ink drawing, botanical observation and abstract mark-making.
Lina Park
Medium / focus: Ink drawing, botanical observation and abstract mark-making.
Lina begins with close botanical studies before allowing the drawings to drift into invented systems of roots, veins and pathways. Her ink work balances patient observation with improvisation.
Selected works
Caleb Moss Small-scale sculpture using reclaimed wood and brass.
Caleb Moss
Medium / focus: Small-scale sculpture using reclaimed wood and brass.
Caleb assembles reclaimed timber, found fragments and precise brass fittings into compact structures. The works sit somewhere between model buildings, tools and imagined instruments.
Selected works
Nadia Flint Expressive oil portraiture and studies of gesture.
Nadia Flint
Medium / focus: Expressive oil portraiture and studies of gesture.
Nadia paints portraits from brief sittings and remembered gestures. Broad areas of colour are left visible so that the process of revision becomes part of the finished image.
Selected works
Eli Santos Screen printing, bold typography and civic storytelling.
Eli Santos
Medium / focus: Screen printing, bold typography and civic storytelling.
Eli uses hand-pulled screen prints to combine public notices, local phrases and abstract symbols. The work considers who public messages are designed for and who they overlook.
Selected works
Priya North Glass casting and translucent sculptural forms.
Priya North
Medium / focus: Glass casting and translucent sculptural forms.
Priya casts glass into softly irregular forms that hold bubbles, seams and traces of the mould. Daylight is treated as an active material that changes the work over time.
Selected works
Rowan Hale Watercolour, weather studies and open-landscape painting.
Rowan Hale
Medium / focus: Watercolour, weather studies and open-landscape painting.
Rowan works outdoors in changing conditions, using washes, lifted pigment and spare pencil notes. The resulting paintings record atmosphere more than precise geography.
Selected works
Sofia Keene Digital collage translated into archival physical prints.
Sofia Keene
Medium / focus: Digital collage translated into archival physical prints.
Sofia constructs dense digital collages from her own drawings, scans and textures. Each composition is then refined for a limited fictional print edition on archival paper.
Selected works
Darius Cole Assemblage, found objects and social history.
Darius Cole
Medium / focus: Assemblage, found objects and social history.
Darius gathers ordinary discarded objects and places them into carefully balanced wall assemblages. Labels and short texts invite viewers to imagine the lives these materials once touched.
Selected works
Imogen Vale Gouache illustration and imagined interiors.
Imogen Vale
Medium / focus: Gouache illustration and imagined interiors.
Imogen paints quiet rooms populated by plants, patterned objects and traces of absent occupants. Flattened perspective gives each interior the quality of a remembered stage set.
Selected works
Malik Arden Abstract painting shaped by rhythm and improvised music.
Malik Arden
Medium / focus: Abstract painting shaped by rhythm and improvised music.
Malik translates repeated rhythms into painted intervals, pauses and dense clusters of marks. Works are developed in short sessions alongside improvised sound recordings.
Selected works
Cora Wren Book arts, paper engineering and miniature editions.
Cora Wren
Medium / focus: Book arts, paper engineering and miniature editions.
Cora makes hand-bound books and folded paper structures that reveal images through movement. Her small editions combine printmaking, precise construction and short fictional texts.
Selected works
Owen Lark Woodcut printmaking and studies of working landscapes.
Owen Lark
Medium / focus: Woodcut printmaking and studies of working landscapes.
Owen cuts bold relief prints based on allotments, workshops and edges of farmland. Simplified shapes and visible tool marks give the scenes a strong physical presence.
Selected works
Yara Finch Mixed-media drawings of migration, routes and memory.
Yara Finch
Medium / focus: Mixed-media drawings of migration, routes and memory.
Yara layers maps, handwriting, ink and transferred textures to explore movement between places. Routes remain intentionally incomplete, allowing personal and imagined journeys to overlap.
Selected works
Felix Rowan Metalwork, kinetic forms and balanced sculpture.
Felix Rowan
Medium / focus: Metalwork, kinetic forms and balanced sculpture.
Felix creates small moving sculptures from steel, brass and wire. Their slow shifts are driven by touch or air movement rather than motors, keeping the mechanics visible and direct.
Selected works
Mei Calder Porcelain, cobalt drawing and domestic forms.
Mei Calder
Medium / focus: Porcelain, cobalt drawing and domestic forms.
Mei paints spontaneous cobalt drawings across porcelain cups, bowls and sculptural domestic objects. Familiar forms become surfaces for fragments of gardens, windows and passing figures.
Selected works
Anika Stone Soft sculpture, felt and hand-formed fibre structures.
Anika Stone
Medium / focus: Soft sculpture, felt and hand-formed fibre structures.
Anika works with felted wool, stitched fibre and flexible armatures. Her forms appear botanical at first, but closer inspection reveals invented anatomy and deliberately ambiguous functions.
