Artist of the Week, Seren Spain

Often we become trapped by our attitude to drawing, grasping on to what's familiar and recognisable, unable to depart from the fixed image.  It can be extremely difficult to detach from that and discover the unknown, to let the 'truth images' rise to the surface.  Seren's work displays a gradual sense of liberation, it is intimate and multi faceted.

Artist of the Week, Tania Lee

Tania's work is immediate and raw.  Her choice of palette vivid, her application deliberate and strong. She like many others 'thinks' she can't draw.  It is a common thread amongst many of the Roar Drawers and many talented Creatives.  Art is a subjective thing and we are sensitive beings. It requires bravery and commitment, to go out on a limb, get into your zone, trust the process and allow yourself to be vulnerable and honest.  Ultimately it shows, it is the difference between strong work and work that is safe and 'perfectly groomed'.
