I

am a wildlife and pet portrait artist based in the beautiful Berkshire countryside, England, where I live with my husband, two sons, and our various pets.

In coloured pencil, pastel, and acrylic paint I create detailed life-like artworks which aim to capture the true character and likeness of every one of my subjects. From the fine detail and control of coloured pencils to the sweeping freedom of pastels, I relish being able to move between mediums as they as they are all so different to work with.

My professional art career really was a happy accident. From a young age, I had a natural talent for realistic drawing and I always loved drawing animals, but I did not continue with my art when I left school. I studied marketing design at university and followed this route working within small businesses, however, I didn’t draw or paint for many years. After 4

having my two boys I picked up my pencils again in 2016 and with huge thanks to my encouraging family and friends drawing pet portraits quickly became my full-time job.

“I am just as happy painting big cats as I am drawing tiny birds“ Inspired by the diverse and striking beauty of the animal kingdom has led me to explore a wider range of creatures in my artworks, I am just as happy painting big cats as I am drawing tiny birds, and my list grows ever longer every day.

Here are a few facts about me: I am a perfectionist (can you tell?), and I work slowly - each pet portrait takes me 1-2 weeks and my wildlife paintings can take weeks or even months.

Helen Bellotti

rt, design, textiles, and the joy of being creative, have always been essential elements of my life since early childhood. I grew up in an extended family of textile artists, dressmakers, architects and jewellery makers.

It was almost inevitable that I would journey through art college and then become an art teacher.

Teaching art and design allows you to explore techniques, processes, media, and the work of others so there is constant exposure to the creative world.

In 2013 I joined Solihull Creative Textiles which has allowed me to work and exhibit both collaboratively and as an individual. Through this group, I have also run and attended many live and online textile workshops. My brain absorbs new ideas and thoughts like a sponge! the Donor Family Network.

Their logo is a butterfly (to symbolise life) sitting on a Forget-Me-Not flower. Based on this logo my response was to design greetings cards. These were produced using wax crayon resist with watercolour paint, collage, masking techniques, and gel pen.

My life was shattered in 2018 with the sudden loss of my daughter. My art has allowed me to express myself without having to say sad things out loud. I can vent my anger, grief, and sorrow through quick aggressive strokes of a brush or by ripping materials. My visual vocabulary enables me to use line, colour, texture, and media to express feelings and thoughts.

My daughter was an organ donor and I joined 6

“My art has allowed me to express myself without having to say sad things out loud.“ This led to designing sets of postcards because I wanted to include text within the imagery. A pack of plain postcards was quickly transformed using paper collages and letters cut from magazines.

Hidden Talents Magazine

The postcards triggered an idea for a book, An A-Z of recovery, both written and illustrated by myself. Images from the book have been used in a St John’s award ceremony dedicated to organ donors.

By donating, my daughter saved the life of one man and greatly improved the lives of two others. I started thinking about and became obsessed with the theme of Angels. All of the medical staff involved in the donation process are incredible, along with my daughter they are all angels.

“By donating, my daughter saved the life of one man and greatly improved the lives of two others.“ This triggered my Angel textile project. In order to represent the fragments of life that are so precious I used tiny fragments of fabric and threads left over from other projects thus giving them new life. I have begun to

experiment with using text in my textile pieces especially on little prayer scrolls which measure about 50cms by 7cms.

For me, the power of creating art acts as superb therapy. An engaging project takes time and allows my mind to go to a different, calmer place, ‘the zone. There is also meditative therapy in a repetitive and rhythmic movement of the sewing needle moving in and out of the fabric, creating something of personal value that brings peace and joy. Without my art, I would be lost.

Bethany Brown Bethany sight loss journey

I

have never understood the beauty of being truly grounded until I picked up my pencil for the first time and got submerged in art; until the day that I allowed my emotions to poetically flow across the page while I found the words to share my story.

I would like to introduce you to Leo, the first painting that I ever completed, he is the true essence of strength, courage, and bravery and a depiction of emotions that I knew I was going to need throughout my journey ahead.

Leo enabled me to roar at the top of my lungs In February 2021, I was diagnosed as “partially sighted”, with no clear vision of what my future looked like. I was informed that I may lose my sight over the next 50 years.’ There was no clarity of my diagnosis at this point and so much uncertainty around my future of sight.

I was muted by anxiety.

“I would like to introduce you to Leo, the first painting that I ever completed, he is the true essence of strength, courage, and bravery.“ You see, I had noticed a deterioration in my sight but had presumed I just needed stronger lenses in my glasses. I walked into the room expecting to come out with a new prescription, not a certificate of visual impairment. I remember calling my mum and my line manager and muttering the words “I’m going blind”.

Hidden Talents Magazine

My mum and friends offered me a wealth of emotional support while my line manager offered practical support and advised that I contact the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB) helpline for advice and support on next steps. This is where I was introduced to my Eye Clinic Liaison Officer (ECLO) who signposted me to a Low Vision Clinic based at Focus Birmingham and Living Well with Sight Loss courses.

My Eye Clinic Liaison Officer also advised

“I remember calling my mum and my line manager and muttering the words “I’m going blind”.“ on the benefits of being registered as sight impaired and introduced me to networking sites for the visually impaired including RNIB – West Midlands Connect and SAMS – a visually impaired friendship group. This laid the foundation and gave me the courage I needed as three months later, in June 2021, my sight had further deteriorated, and I was diagnosed as Severely Sight Impaired.

Tune in to the next quarter to read more about my sight loss journey and coming into my strength as a visually impaired artist.

For more information about sight loss and where to access support you can contact the RNIB Helpline on 03033039999.

I

Ruth Scott

am a Glasgow-based, contemporary landscape painter, whose work has been described as atmospheric and emotive, with Scottish undertones. My paintings are reflective of mood and senses reaching to create a moment in time.

There is nothing like the feeling of someone telling you your painting has moved them in some way. While the creative process is a joy, to be able to evoke that connection in someone else is such a reward.

I was accepted many years ago for Duncan of Jordanstone School of Art in Dundee, however, chose to take up a position with a law firm instead. Later I rekindled my love of painting when living on the Isle of Bute, where I was influenced by the light and tones of Scotland’s West Coast.

“Painting has always provided me with an escape from life’s pressures and commitments“ I spent the next few years developing my style by attending various part-time courses at Glasgow School of Art, Strathclyde University, and various Artist lead workshops quickly realising I wanted to do more.

Painting has always provided me with an escape from life’s pressures and commitments.

Now part-time in the office I can dedicate more time to my artwork, a therapeutic contrast to office life. Over the years I’ve been fortunate to have close friends who are professional artists who have been on hand to provide advice and 10

encouragement, an essential to lacking artistic self-esteem. I am not a graduate and don’t come with qualifications just life experiences and a love of painting.

The sisters live across the road from each other, dividing their time between the two farms complete with sixteen horses several dogs, and of course chickens. Both sisters are extremely competitive and spend their summers barrel racing horses or kayaking on the river near the farm.

“We live in such a beautiful area it’s very easy to find inspiration it’s everywhere you look“

Six months ago they decided to take on a new hobby and started going to painting classes.

They have both found a new love for ART and now spend their free time painting or plotting what to paint next. Linda and Brenda aspire to greater things and look forward to spring when the weather improves and long summer evenings, painting on the porch on their farms on a hill at their beautiful home.

veryday is a new beginning. Take a deep breath. Smile. And start again.” This is my life motto. Art is my passion and representation of my thoughts and emotions.

Every new artwork is a new beginning, every plain white canvas is the beginning of a new day. No matter what life throws at me, I try to stay cheerful and positive .

My name is Anna, and I’m 40 years old. For the last 10 years I have lived in the United States, but I was born in a small town in Russia. Since my early childhood, I have known that the world is a much bigger place, so the wanderlust resulted in extensive travels to Asia, Europe, and the Americas, during which I have encountered different people, experienced different cultures, and learned about the world and myself. I have a Master degree in Psychology, so I have a tendency to notice and analyse my thoughts and emotions. My art is a symbolic 14

fusion of my life and travel experiences and emotions they have evoked. In the creative process, I observe my feelings and pour them on a canvas.

“Every new artwork is a new beginning, every plain white canvas is the beginning of a new day.“ I have always been a creative person and I have played the piano since my childhood with a Bachelor’s degree in music. Music is an integral part of my life, It is almost like a meditative practice when the music I listen to while creating, the atmosphere that surrounds me, and the mood that I feel that day find the embodiment in my artwork.

I primarily use modelling paste, plaster, and acrylic paints, and I really like the result obtained using the texture. It is tangible

emotions. I see how everything that I put into the project takes shape and can not only be seen but also touched, felt with fingertips. I feel how the process of creating my art pieces fascinates and captures me. New ideas of combining materials, textures, and colours constantly develop in my mind.

Making art is a completely new chapter in my

life, and I feel it brings a lot of positivity to it.

For me love is the fuel for living. Loving life, loving people, loving nature, loving God - I fill my artwork with this feeling. By sharing it with people and donating paintings to fundraising auctions I believe I make this world a little better place every day.

Kathleen Rietz Painting

began a new painting journey several years ago, when I felt drawn to let go of rendering concrete, realistic representations of objects and instead paint the feelings and emotions of my subjects using the colour and shapes to represent them.

At the time, I had a very stressful job, and my younger sister was ill with breast cancer.

Painting became an outlet for me to pour my stress out on the weekends and evenings, 16

“During this uncertain period, and many found themselves with time to explore their hidden talents. “ and find sacred moments of peace and comfort. Each of my paintings is inspired by my personal journey through life: friendship, resilience, bravery, growth, travel and discovering my joy. It can be noted that flowers and floral gardens are symbolic themes throughout my work. My hope is that my paintings conjure up experiences of light-heartedness, Hidden Talents Magazine

healing, introspection and wonder to all who view them.

When I found myself under lock down in 2020 during the worldwide pandemic, I heeded the call of many of my social media followers to offer online art courses. Learning to create courses seemed like a monumental task to me, but every new venture starts with

a willingness to grow and change. I knew people were looking for hope and enrichment during this uncertain period, and many found themselves with time to explore their hidden talents.

Art is a gift that brings many people hope and fulfilment. I now offer several online art courses, and I am honoured to be able to teach others all around the world to tap into their own creativity. I love experiencing my students’ “ah-ha” moments right along with them.

“Art is a gift that brings many people hope and fulfilment. “

One aspect of teaching that I did not expect to discover is how it has changed my approach to my own art practice. Each time I research, write, demo, film and edit a course, I learn more about colour, value, light and composition for example, and it affects my own practice of creating. As a result, I’ve grown so much as an artist. Each day feels like a gift to me when I am able to create, explore and share the gift of art with others.

y watercolour journey started three and a half years ago when I was attending a meditation class where we would paint mandalas after each session. I was amazed by what I could create with colour and form and I could not wait to get home to explore what I could make with whatever pens and paper I could find.

After a few weeks of drawing every day, I wanted to start adding colour to my creations.

Since I did not have any previous knowledge of painting, I attended a beginner’s watercolour class nearby.

During the class I got to meet inspiring students and a teacher, who thanks to her knowledge and patience helped me to believe in my own creativity and learn basic watercolour techniques. I fell completely in love with 18

watercolour and have continued to paint in watercolour ever since. Yes, I still use fineliners and have added coloured pencils and gouache to my palette.

“I fell completely in love with watercolour and have continued to paint in watercolour ever since.“ My biggest source of inspiration is when I find beautiful shapes in nature or in my everyday life. I love painting animals and birds with alluring or amusing expressions and poses, or delicate flowers with interesting shapes. I get excited when I find new colour combinations that I find intriguing, it takes my painting on a journey of discovery every time. I am often baffled by how the colours play with each other

Hidden Talents Magazine

and how colour temperature makes a painting more engaging.

Mostly, I start with a reference image when painting and soon stop following the colours of the reference and start creating my own colour palette on the paper. During the painting

“I find stunning combinations of colours that can take the most mundane colour becomes completely brilliant“ process, I discover how the colours affect each other and at times I find stunning combinations of colours that can take the most mundane colour becomes completely brilliant.

Many artists have inspired me in various ways during the short time that I have been painting, some of these are Alphonse Mucha, Carla Evans and Jung Hun sung.

I

am an artist who mostly draws and paints, I have always drawn and painted from a very early age to the present day.

I do this because it is my way of observing and digesting the world around us mostly nowadays I focus on the natural world.

I studied for a fine art degree in the 1970’s, there was a predominantly conceptual culture at the time in the art world and I therefore did not really progress at all in any 20

“I would describe my work as representational, with an emphasis on colour and light.“ formal painting or drawing skills. I developed other technical skills such as silk screen printing and photography. Although nowadays we don’t need to know how to develop our own photographs.

After gaining a degree and teaching qualification I mostly worked in various teaching roles, simultaneously developing my own drawing and Hidden Talents Magazine

painting techniques. I spent about two years just studying clouds/ trees and the sea depending on where I was living. Producing several large canvasses in oils.

At college we were always encouraged to work on a large scale as most of the painting art work we looked at was of the American Abstract Expressionists and Pop Art.

The last job I had teaching art for 18years was in a Special School for pupils with emotional and behavioural issues. Here I was able to explore different ways of using art to support the students in their well being.

I am now focussing only on my art, I still have the same focus of subject matter which is to bring out in my paintings the way I see the nature and wildlife around me.

The process I use is to experience places, record either through drawings, photographs or videos, I then create an initial image of this using areas of colour on the canvas in oils, I then use a technique of plate printing using lines and marks and colour very freely onto the canvas, and then work the canvas.

y name is Susanna and I live in a little wooden house in a beautiful beech forest in the middle of Sweden. Ever since I can remember I have been drawing, painting, and sketching. I love to go into my world of peace and pencils with a glass of wine.

I’m always searching for perfection in my paintings, and it can be quite a burden sometimes. It’s like having a little jailer inside. To break the 22

But the jailer usually finds its way into those paintings

as well, so I figure that she is someone that I need to embrace somehow. Lately I’ve been hooked on painting mandalas or graphics and using mixed media which makes me very happy, and I can sit for hours just drawing dots, lines and circles.

I find my inspiration when looking at pictures on the internet or whatever is in front of me at the table, but I can as well have a perfectly white sheet and just begin to draw out of my imagination. I often need to paint alone but occasionally my painting friends and I get together and when that happens, we have a

“I love to go into my world of peace and pencils with a glass of wine“

blast with both our paintings as well as good food and laughs.

My role models are foremost my former course leader and artist Marie Ragnhult, who paints in both aquarelle and lead pencils, and of course my lovely painting friends Greta, Maarit, Jaana and Ewa. But I also look at more international famous artists such as Duane Keiser and our own awesome Lars Lerin as they show a perfect talent regarding control of light and shadow.

One sunny day, while walking, I went into a fabric store. I just fell in love with the beauty of fabrics and I wanted to Hidden Talents Magazine

transfer this beauty to canvas, create beautiful girls in fascinating head dresses, voluminous dresses. Just enchanted, I bought this fabric, but I didn’t even imagine that I could make it part of my paintings.

When I got home, I sat down to draw, but the result of only one paint did not suit me, and then the idea dawned on me and why not add this beautiful fabric to the picture itself? Of

“I just fell in love with the beauty of fabrics and I wanted to transfer this beauty to canvas“ course it wasn’t as easy as it seemed to me at first glance, but I didn’t give up and it turned out just fabulous like a living picture… By passing hats and clothes, you can create beautiful flowers and many, many other beautiful things from fabric… I have a little dream to create a big picture of acrylic and fabric, I hope that it will come true) Dear friends, do not be afraid to experiment, maybe this is exactly what you need.

Esther singing with the band

was born in Sparkbrook and attended school in Birmingham and furthered my studies at Bourneville Art College.

At the age of 18, I moved to London and followed many creative paths but, I am now and have been, a jazz singer for the last 30 years During lockdown and like many others, I had the time to clear cupboards and sort through memorabilia, photographs and notebooks.

This got me thinking about my life so far and its creative path and history.

I was also having a new website made during this period and dedicated a section to my early life in Birmingham and its effect on my musical development https://www.estherbennettmusic. com/story/ The death of Brian Travers one of the founder members of UB40 had a profound effect on me.

26

I am from the same area of Birmingham as the band and they were always in my hemisphere.

They were SO prolific and big and celebrated music specific to Birmingham and the area I grew up in.

“The death of Brian Travers one of the founder members of UB40 had a profound effect on me.“ I got fascinated by the musical history of Birmingham and of the history of the Bullring shopping centre, the 1960s architecture, The 1970s pubs and the grimness of the 1980s I visited over the 2 years of lockdown (during the periods of restricted opening) exploring and revisiting home, familiar places and my past.

I took lots of photos of used, re-used and

Hidden Talents Magazine

still working old factories - mainly around the canals through Digbeth which is my side of town (Birmingham South) and got into searching the internet and YouTube for videos of old Birmingham and its nightlife (mainly of the early 80s) looking for pubs and clubs I used to go to.

All of this informed a track I was developing for my new album “Home is Where the Art is” For this track, I wanted to use the music of long-term friend and composer Didier Messidoro.

I wanted to explore the use of spoken word and poetry, and Didiers filmic pieces are a perfect landscape upon which to lay words and sound.

It was the pianist & producer who I work with; Terence Collie, who suggested that we make a video of the track, particularly as I had most of the content already collated for this video from aforementioned recent trips and research.

The rest was a creative co-collaboration with Terence who was also responsible for all of the video production.

This is really, a labour of love.

An homage to my hometown and its industrial, multicultural and working-class history and of how that history has informed its music and created a Birmingham sound.
