"Rose Quartz was originally created as a Valentine’s gift to a lover — featuring photography of the stone I used to manifest said lover. Choosing to share what was once an intimate exchange in an attempt to spread the love manifest as far and wide as possible."

"3 of Swords is a collaged watercolour and acrylic painting inspired by the original iconography of the 3 of Swords tarot card, which traditionally symbolises heartbreak."

"Inspired by Anna Biller’s 2016 technicolour melodrama, The Love Witch, Elaine is a love potion of my own. A compilation of ritualism that makes up my own sickly spell."

“Before lockdown began, my head was swimming with ideas for shoots to do, playing with the ideas of masculinity and femininity, in particular, blurring the lines between the two. Obviously, right now, I have no idea what a post-lockdown world is going to look like, so it could be a while before I am able to bring those shoots to life but I started to think about what I could do to fulfil some of those ideas now. I don’t like the idea of masculinity and femininity being two opposite ends of the spectrum – masculinity being hard and strong and femininity being soft and delicate. I hate the divide between the two. I think they are both at their strongest mixed with the other, when there is no divide between the two at all.

The title of the image comes from the song ‘Half Ladies’ by Christine and the Queens.”

"Fun fact: the term ‘belly button’ is actually short for and derived from the full title ‘Annabellybutton’ as an Annabelle (a.k.a. Queen of Belly Buttons), it is my duty to impart this wisdom upon others. You are very welcome.

"I took this photo because I want to show everyone that love is beautiful. Our film celebrates queer people and our desire for a more compassionate world. We believe that diversity makes us better and stronger."

"My colour-block collages are mostly aesthetic, although the idea came from trying to represent the voiceless, identity-less women in nude paintings. Quite often, the shapes created in these collages go on to be the basis of bigger pieces and paintings. On their own, they are purely aesthetic, but they have the potential to be part of something much bigger."

Two-Tone Pink Lino Print on White Card.

This piece was created by Mary-Ann to raise money for Black Minds Matter UK.

"This was a light painting I did with a pure white light in a very dark room, then I combined it with my love for neon lights and manipulated it to look like lips. This is much simpler than I usually go for, but I guess sometimes less is more!"

"A flower drawn freely onto a colourful red background. The image ties together the two natures of my work- the art I create for tattooing, and the art I create for paper. The colourful background is rooted in colour and mark making and layers, not applicable to tattooing, while the flower is graphic and linear, mirroring the way I create tattoos. The flower has been drawn on with no sketch to fit the canvas the way I would draw the same design on a person to fit them perfectly whilst being unique to them - but there is a juxtaposition in the limitation of the square canvas, as opposed to the canvas of the body, which allows the design to be guided by and contorted with the body."

"Within this design I explored combining pattern and colour clashes to create a vivid and happy still life abstract. I love anything spots, and pastel mints and greens clashing with pinks. This design will be sure to add a pop of joy anywhere in the home!"

"I created this piece as I really love the juxtaposition of the neon yellow text on the black and white photograph, as well as the serious feel of black and white photography, combined with a silly pun about daisies. This piece is obviously not super deep, but it feels light and fresh, and art doesn't always have to be dark and serious in order to be considered beautiful."

"Sapphic love is beautiful is a recent piece that I created to celebrate Lesbian Visibility Week 2022. It encompasses the colours of the Lesbian flag within the shapes and leaves and then diverse couples within the flowers. This illustration is an ode to the softness and power that sapphic relationships have brought into my life. Something that is far too often sexualised deserves space to be seen as the beautiful and expansive love that it can be."
