MEET THE ARTISTS

Lois O’Hara is a UK-based artist known for her vibrant, flowing murals and installations that transform public spaces into uplifting, immersive experiences. Her distinctive style blends fluid shapes with bold, dynamic colour palettes, capturing the energy and movement found in nature, whether it’s the ebb of waves, the sweep of wind, or the rhythm of sound.

Lois’s creative practice spans large-scale public artworks, murals, interior design, and printmaking. She works across a variety of mediums and environments, always with the aim of energising and inspiring those who encounter her work. By filling spaces with movement and colour, she encourages a sense of joy, optimism, and connection.

Her pieces are often site-specific, designed to engage directly with the community and location they inhabit. Lois believes in the psychological power of colour to influence mood and well-being, and her work reflects a deep commitment to creating spaces that invite people to pause, interact, and feel uplifted.

Deeply rooted in coastal and creative spirit, Lois’s work celebrates both the visual and emotional impact of art, encouraging viewers to embrace the beauty of flow in an often fragmented world.

Dave Buonaguidi, known as The Real Hackney Dave, is a London-based contemporary artist celebrated for his bold, witty, and thought-provoking screen-printing.

After more than three decades in advertising where he co-founded creative agencies and served as Creative Director at Channel 4, Dave shifted his focus entirely to art, transforming vintage imagery into striking visual statements that blend humour, nostalgia, and cultural commentary.

His process often involves hand-printing on found materials such as maps, photographs, copper plates, and other pieces of ephemera, layering them with provocative typographic phrases and unexpected embellishments like glitter, gold leaf, sprinkles, or even pheromones. These juxtapositions of the familiar and the surprising invite an immediate emotional response, sometimes playful, sometimes challenging, always memorable.

Drawing inspiration from pop art, propaganda, and personal history, Dave uses his work to both charm and disrupt. By combining the persuasive techniques of advertising with the intimacy of handmade art, he creates pieces that are as accessible as they are conceptually rich.

His art has been exhibited at major institutions including the V&A, the Imperial War Museum, and the Trento Museum of Modern Art, and collected by high-profile figures from the worlds of food, fashion, and entertainment. Alongside his creative practice, Dave is committed to philanthropic work, using his art to raise funds and awareness for causes ranging from healthcare to food banks.

Roland Gaz is a digital artist whose work explores the balance between form, texture, and emotion.

Specialising in abstract compositions, Roland blends organic shapes, fluid lines, and subtle colour palettes with touches of gold and metallic accents to create pieces that feel both contemporary and timeless.

His work invites the viewer to pause—to step away from the noise of daily life and immerse themselves in a space of calm, reflection, and quiet intrigue. Each piece is designed not simply to be seen, but to be felt, evoking sensations that range from serenity and balance to curiosity and wonder.

Roland’s creative process is guided by a belief that abstract art should speak to each viewer differently. By avoiding literal representations, his work leaves room for personal interpretation, allowing each person to form their own connection and meaning.

Whether it’s a bold geometric arrangement or a soft, flowing design, his art aims to create a lasting emotional resonance within the spaces it inhabits.

Nicole Staight is a artist and maker whose artworks reflect the balance of where fragility meets resilience. Each piece begins as a simple sheet of paper, coaxed to life through delicate cuts, layered forms, and washes of luminous colour. The result is work that feels at once intricate and bold, wearable art that flirts with light, shadow, and movement.

Her process is as tactile as it is thoughtful. Nicole sketches by hand, builds depth through painted detail, and seals each creation with a protective lacquer, preserving its ephemeral beauty for years to come. Every curve, hue, and layer is chosen to evoke joy, curiosity, and a sense of wonder at the unexpected possibilities of paper.
