Lucy Bergman
Lucy is a visual artist and project manager and has been creating, commissioning and facilitating art since 1998.
Lucy's background and training is in graphic art and design with a particular focus on film. During her studies Lucy began to explore themes around the emotional value of objects, connections and relationships - between people and places, and the influence of memory, heritage and ritual.
Lucy focusses on creating abstract narrative through film making, illustration, print and writing. Visual, written and spoken narratives are the intrinsic devices she uses to explore the poetry of relationships, between extreme occurrences, extreme landscapes or feelings. "I am moved to create work inspired by the poetry and symbolism of everyday life"
Lucy's work with children and community groups initially started through managing creative projects intended to encourage community cohesion, regeneration and creative skill development.
Later she began to lead artistic interventions and projects utilising her film, animation and visual art skills. "It became more and more apparent that my work had a seam running through it concerned with people’s emotional health and intelligence and I began to truly understand the important role creative intervention could have in terms of having the power to improve people’s quality of life."
Lucy has devised, delivered and managed many successful creative projects and artistic commissions during the past ten years and have a track record of delivering high quality, meaningful and process-led work with a variety of age groups.

Talya Baldwin
Talya is an artist and illustrator, originally from London but who now lives in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire. All Talya's drawings are done by hand. She uses inks, paints, biros, coloured pencils, pastels, wax crayons and felt tips.
Talya's work is often about taking the time to observe and record things which are unloved, forgotten or unpopular. She draws sideshow performers, feral pigeons, weeds and rats. The drawings process is a way of recognising the subject, and giving it a sort of dignity in a quiet way. Talya's especially fascinated by birds and also by tenacity as a theme; "I like drawing things that cling to life against the odds."
