Noemi Conan The Ambassador, 2024 Smooth gel ink ball point pen and Ferrero Roche wrapper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Noemi Conan, born in Warsaw, Poland in 1987. Painter. Lives and works in London. Exploring the narrative potential of visual art through surreal, confrontational and/or humorous images of female friends, family and feline companions in forest landscapes of firs and ferns. Weaving slavic folklore with themes from communist and capitalist propaganda into stories based on personal experience of a young woman in off centre 90's Eastern Europe. Having gone through a miraculous journey through space and time, after working miriads of menial migrant jobs, Noemi Conan has finally decided that she's grown up to be a painter. Despite the warnings of her grandmother, despite the deluge of her mother's tears. She was not a good cleaner, not an attentive housekeeper. The famous Polish work ethic has not been ignited by any of the jobs that her friends in London worked their way up through. A passion for storytelling and the need for visual aids to explain a curriculum vitae that either confused or outraged her collegues has finally resulted in a glowing path to the Parnassus of a 'career'. Using plastic colours on canvas, on paper, on glass, on wood, the point of all these ridiculous adventures of the past has been found. Taking on the name of one of her REAL dads, the ones who actually taught her life in a small town in Western Poland all those years ago where even all the cats were female cats, Conan decided to take no prisoners. Following her other dad, the sad Norwegian man with a moustache, she gone over-the-top about her emotional landscapes. The last dad taught her that it's sometimes worth looking way back to go forward and applaud that progression on the faces of your opponents. Thank goodness for Arnold and Edvard and Igor.   Conan's work has been exhibited in the UK and internationally. Her work is in the collections of Soho House London, Glasgow School of Art and the Urban Nation Museum in Berlin. She has been selected as one of Bloomberg New Contemporaries in 2021, has been featured in the John Moores Painting Prize in 2020, the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in 2021 and the Royal Scottish Academy Annual Exhibition. She graduated with a BA (Hons) in Painting and Printmaking from the Glasgow School of Art followed by the Royal Drawing School Drawing Year (2021-2022). Currently at the Turps Studio Programme (2022-2024) and The Fores Project February-March 2023 residency. From september 2024 she will start an MFA in Painting at the Slade in London.

Arabella Sim Before Time, 2025 Oil on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Arabella Sim is a painter and draughtsman who works with text, dance, performance and sound. Trained at Central St Martins and the Royal Drawing School, she is a member of the Art Workers Guild and the Pollen Collective. Her work revolves around the human condition, exploring our connection to the land and the perpetual cycle of life and death. Seeing the human figure as a metaphor of our emotions, she uses abstraction and figuration to trigger memories, vulnerabilities and the subconscious. Increasingly, Arabella collaborates with other artists, believing in the synergy created through cross disciplinary practice. Seeing herself as a storyteller, her influences are wide and extensive, stemming from an eclectic mix of theatre, poetry, philosophy, music and dance. At the core of her practice is drawing. Her work is about the physical 'act' of making, and through risk and exploration, she pushes the boundaries of expression. Whether through paint, dance, charcoal or text, layer upon layer is built up, often erased, but always leaving an imprint, a trace of intention.

Alexandra Beteeva Anechka, 2024 Pencil on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Alexandra Beteeva (b.1999) creates nostalgic paintings, prints and drawings tinged with intimacy and innocence. Interested in post-Soviet spaces and a process of presenting history in the form of personal and collective memory, she asks what it means to be homesick for a home one never had. Motivated by themes of immersion, the Caucasus becomes an interesting space to explore. Alexandra works with the archive, images that help to see and understand the past more accurately, as during excavations, the missing but suddenly found part of the object makes the idea of it whole.

Nour El Saleh Back of my Mind (Reflected), 2025 Watercolour on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About born in Beirut, Lebanon, 1997 lives and works in London Nour el Saleh explores notions of place, belonging and selective/relative memory. Working instinctively without prior planning, the works reveal fragments of familiar yet inhabitable environments with ecosystems suitable only for those who are created within them. Without being an exception to that rule - she visits frequently as an observer, relying on her medium as a mode of research and inquisition into the regulations and dynamics that may come to play within those hypothetical spaces. Bodies; animal and humanoid, appear on the surface, where they indiscriminately meld into each other and are inseparable from the land that they inhabit. heavily referencing human anatomy, they are scrutinized beyond the bounds of biology. Through delicately feathered strokes, flesh is made to look tender, porous and translucent - expanding the visceral possibilities of openings and entries to the body that are neither functional or sexual. Nour el Saleh completed her postgraduate degree from The Royal Drawing School in 2022 after receiving a BFA at the Slade School of Fine Art in 2019 and has recently exhibited at General Expenses, Mexico city (2024) Des Bains, UK (2024), Xxijra Hii, UK (2023), Quench Gallery, UK (2023), Edel Assanti, UK (2022), Castello di San Basillio, Italy (2022), Cassina Projects, Italy (2022), Christies, London (2022), Plaza Plaza, UK (2021), V.O Curations, UK (2021); Lowell Ryan Projects, Mexico (2020); Kuva Gallery, Finland (2019); Daniel Benjamin Gallery, London (2018).

Eleanor Ekserdjian Red Nocturne, 2024 Oil on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Eleanor Ekserdjian is a painter and film artist. Ekserdjian's practice involves projecting the moving image onto paper or canvas and drawing from and over it, her physical and emotional responses being made visible through rapid mark-making. These paintings and drawings become lyrical landscapes which explore her evolving emotional response to the film. Her most recent film and painting series was made during a six-week artist residency in Armenia, and explores cultural memory through landscape. Pepe Karmel, author of 'Abstract Art: A Global History', defined her work as 'Poetic, elegant and mysterious - a kinetic, subjective transcription of the world into calligraphy.'

In 2022, I travelled to Armenia for the first time as a part of an artists' residency programme - the paintings I made there represented the first sight of a place I had always imagined but had never seen. 'They Will Not Take My Island III' is a response to the power of the Armenian Landscape and its glowing colour. The title refers to Arshile Gorky's drawing 'They Will Take My Island' and this work echoes his response to the loss of his homeland of Van. 'Red Nocturne' and 'New Green' were made on my return and combine the landscapes of both the UK and Armenia. I am interested in the idea of simultaneous landscape.

Fleur Yearsley To Hold the World in a Lava Lamp, 2024 Soft pastel, graphite, and ink on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Fleur Yearsley is a visual artist based in Manchester, UK. Her work explores themes of memory, humour, gender, and unfolding narratives, often drawing on pop culture to create a relatable connection with the viewer. Offering a fresh, immersive perspective, Yearsley reclaims the tradition of 'the gaze', which has historically objectified women in the Western canon of art, shifting the power dynamic. She engages viewers, inviting them into her approachable paintings to reflect on how they perceive the subjects and their own role in the act of looking. Her process is characterised by immediacy and openness, balanced with playful refinement and a colourful sensibility. Through a diverse range of gestural actions, hard edges, and flat colours, she infuses her work with energy and a sense of vibration. Yearsley's paintings resonate like a generational anthem, addressing concepts of high and low brow culture, everyday life, urban environments and social norms.

Catherine Chambers Class, 2025 Acrylic on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Catherine Chambers is a figurative artist who documents poignant moments, often from her experiences of living abroad in Ethiopia and the Middle East. Catherine is inspired by environments and their inhabitants, capturing intimate moments of connectedness. However, as with all good portraiture, there is more than meets the eye to her work. These works ask the viewer to confront the complicated dynamics of love, care and identity. This is Catherine's second time working with Art on a Postcard. Her previous contributions zoomed in on feet from her larger paintings. This time, Catherine has created postcards looking at the hands in existing works of hers.

The painting continues a conversation Catherine introduced with her painting "Lying" which won third prize at the National Portrait Gallery in 2024. In this painting, the same sitter holds a bird securely; as it is, the bird cannot fly despite being born to do so. Catherine wants the audience to contemplate, if you have something (could be a relationship, land, artefacts...) but you have it by force or deceit, do you really have it at all? And is it still worth having? Class is a cropped detail from Catherine's larger painting "Between Classes". The girl chooses colours to fill the outlines of a princess. The postcard questions how the girl came to choose those specific colours and how they differ to the girls own image. The work explores ideas of care, influence and status; how they overlap, interact and differ. Fortune is a detail from Catherine's larger painting "Nafkot (Yeabsra)". A child holds a popular paper game, commonly known as a chatterbox or fortune teller. It was introduced to the girl by Catherine in an exchange of sharing games local to one and foreign to another. Games are a recurring theme in Catherine's work, highlighting how unlevel the playing field is in real life. First Hand is a detail from Catherine's larger painting "Holding Space". The hand is of a dear friend of the artist, and celebrates a friendship that challenges outside expectations. It is a prompt to think for oneself and to learn from trusted resources.

England Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork 'Cordelia with Bryn' is an intimate painting of my daughter with her first child. The motif of parent and child is one that recurs throughout my whole career as a painter - from making paintings based on my own experience of pregnancy and motherhood to creating a body of work in 1993 'A Shared Experience', that charted the whole experience of hospital birth and was described as 'groundbreaking, the first of its kind'. It's been a privilege to revisit this aspect of my work with my own children and grandchildren. Brothers: A painting that developed from a quick sketch made in a chapel in Padua. I was touched by the sight of a young man who had difficulty walking, being helped through the chapel by another. I am drawn to such moments of human interaction: such simple everyday acts of kindness are a central theme of my work. You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works.

Jemima Sara She's Magnificent, 2025 Ink, watercolour, and acrylic on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Jemima Sara (b.1997) merges diaristic texts with the figurative - incorporating everyday life and freedom of expression into her work. Jemima's formal training in BA Puppetry: Performance & Design at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama (graduating in 2018) followed by a MA in Fine Art: Drawing at Camberwell (graduating in 2021) has enabled her work to embody the interplay between text, figurative paintings and performative installations. In November 2024, Jemima Sara was recognised as a finalist for the Ingram Prize, the drawings and paintings Jemima creates are journal-like entries, they show the daily tumultuous experience of the mundane existence. The work begins with unfiltered intrusive thoughts, the figures of women and fragmented words unravel the layers of her inner dialogue. Each work is a cathartic personal exploration, inviting audiences to decode the intricate layers of meaning embedded within. On her canvases and within her drawings, figures or women tend to appear with martini glasses. Jemima odes these figures to be her 'alter egos' or 'martini ladies'. When Jemima first started drawing she would use these 'martini ladies' as her voice. The naked ladies vulnerably get everything out on the table, physically and emotionally, and the martini glass - well, in my experience with the right attitude and martini glass you could do anything. Every work is like a secret code, inside joke or unfiltered diary entry waiting to be deciphered. She has turned work-in-progress into a genre. The works oscillate between bold declarations and intimate reflections.

The figures painted delve into the daily tumultuous experience of the mundane existence - but with martinis. I used a mixture of watercolour, acrylic, and ink to bring layers to the surface inviting the viewer to decode the intricate layers of meaning embedded within - what are they 'showering' in? who is the magnificent one? 'why do we run from fear?'. Perhaps I wish to burden the viewer with my thoughts or those are these important questions I need the answer to?

Angelina May Davis Untitled, 2025 Gouache and pencil crayon on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Angelina May Davis is a contemporary painter and member of Contemporary British Painting. Her paintings are fabrications, plundering imagery from childhood TV and art history. She is interested in what shapes us, using the transformative act of painting to reflect on history and culture as well as her own sense of belonging. She has been restoring the English Elm as depicted in remembered films, archival footage and English landscape painting as a metaphor for loss and longing, recalling a nostalgic and insincere past. Her paintings are claustrophobic worlds in which there is ambiguity, artifice, and the possibility of things just out of view.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork Tattered ribbons hang from a bright upright tree, a TV set is on in the corner, and fragments of landscape are contained, framed and slide out of view in what is probably an artist's studio. Painting allows me to think about ideas simultaneously and constructed landscapes provide the settings for me to ruminate about history, pop culture, and my own sense of belonging.

Alina Dieth Spider Love, 2024 Coloured pencil on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Alina is a German, London-based fine artist working almost entirely in dry media, predominantly charcoal. Her work explores moments of tenderness and care in a fleeting and desperately fast-moving world, with a strong relationship to animals and nature. Drawing from personal experience and memory, she wants to invite the viewer to reflect on their own memories and cogitate their perception and stance to anything they surround themselves with, opening a window into the quiet observation and contemplation of deep care, love, and loss. A meditation on the longing for active participation in our environment and the feeling of passiveness stemming from our disconnection to the natural world lies at the heart of her practice to help people, make them feel heard, and give solace. Alina studied Illustration at Camberwell College of Art before joining the postgraduate programme "The Drawing Year" at the acclaimed Royal Drawing School in Shoreditch. She is part of the represented artists collective "AGB Emerging" at Alice Black Gallery.

Lily Kemp Blue Dream, 2025 Acrylic gouache on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About With an underlying interest in exploring narratives touching on the fluidity of gender and identities; Lily Kemp's paintings explore escapism, storytelling, the act of dressing up and playing out imagined roles. Drawing from a range of visual references and written sources, through the process of collage she interweaves figures and images from popular culture alongside found images of landscapes and her own personal photographs. Looking in part at the relationships between popular culture, gender norms and our sense of self. More specifically at our relationship with fashion, how the way we choose to present ourselves can be considered an extension of ourselves and a way of exploring our identities outside of socially constructed binary categorisations. The sense of scale in Lily's paintings is often distorted and exaggerated with an interchangeable indistinct relationship between her figures and the space surrounding them, her landscapes seeming to breathe a life of their own. Scenes are often hyper idealised and fantastical; her figures living within these imagined worlds and dream like realities which are both familiar, yet also border on the performative and theatrical.

Millie Shafiee Shadows in the Sky, 2025 Ink on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Millie Shafiee is a multi-disciplinary artist, who works in drawing, film, sound and installation. Light and space are key elements in Shafiee's practice and her imagery is often created using drawings from film. Her references to cinematic light highlight her experience of creating imagined stories from her family history. Being half Persian, her practice explores diaspora, inherited memory, and the fragility of oral histories, which become diluted or lost in translation.   Education 2023-2024 The Collective Studio, The Newbridge Project, Newcastle Upon Tyne 2019-2023 BA Fine Art, Newcastle University, Newcastle Upon Tyne with study abroad program at University of Victoria, Canada 2018-2019 Level 3 Diploma in Fine Art, The Royal Drawing School, London   Group Exhibitions 2025 New Contemporaries, Institute of Contemporary Arts, London, UK 2024 New Contemporaries, KARST, The Levinsky Gallery and MIRROR, Plymouth, UK Create Disrupt, Embassy Gallery, Edinburgh, UK The Forum Cinema, Hexham, UK Open Studios, The Newbridge Project, Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK 2023 Newcastle University at Parallax Art Fair, London, UK BA Fine Art Degree Show, Space, Liverpool, UK BA Fine Art Degree Show, Newcastle University, Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK Volunteers' exhibition, Star and Shadow, Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK 2022 Interim Show, Newcastle University, Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK Drawing and Mark-making, The Audain Gallery, Victoria, Canada Photography and Paint, The Grey Room, University of Victoria, Victoria, Canada 2021 Open Studios, Newcastle University, Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK Awards 2023 Forshaw Women Artists' Interview Award, The Forshaw Group Bartlett Travel Award, The Bartlett Fund   Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork These ink drawings combine glimpses of family memories with the cinematic compositions and vast Northumberland landscape in BBC's Vera.

Faye Eleanor Woods Kiss me quick!, 2024 Acrylic on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Faye Eleanor Woods' sensual paintings act as a love letter to her own experience, full of life's joy, absurdity, humour, loss, and fear. Using raw pigments and acrylic ink, she forces rich colour into the grain of the canvas, blurring edges with copious amounts of water or using thin layers of oil to blend the figures with their backgrounds, creating an ethereal presence. As Woods says, "I try to bring attention to the surreal aspects of life and the way the oddness of experience manifests within individuals and how that manifestation then affects me. In my vulnerability, I crave strange moments of intimacy. I imagine drinking straight from the tap of all emotion, drinking so much of it, I take on too much and I'm sick and everything I spew out ends up in my work." Inherently influenced by British folklore and folk horror, Woods' paintings tell their own tales rooted in corporeal experience which then becomes heightened or exaggerated, resulting in a form of magical realism. A spirit of excess runs throughout the scenes that she depicts. Empowered yet vulnerable, the behaviour of paint sensualises her ruby red mouths, flushed cheeks, pert nipples, and knees rubbed raw. Dancing, leaping, cavorting figures in various states of consciousness or undress partake in a bacchanale that defies the hypocrisy of supposed propriety and convention, challenging the stiff upper lip. Eyes shine with ecstatic bewitchment as her animalistic protagonists dance and leap in a debaucherous state which teeters on the fine line edge between calamity and joy. What is conveyed is the relatable oddness that exists between the magical and the mundane.

Stella Kapezanou Thorny and Nutrient Sketch , 2024 Acrylic and watercolour on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Stella Kapezanou is a Greek visual artist known for her vibrant, ironic, and complex paintings that explore themes of identity, capitalism, consumerism, and societal expectations. Born in Athens, she studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts and completed her MA at Chelsea College of Arts in London. Her works often feature psychologically charged portraits and intimate social settings, blending elements of humor, mythology, and art history. Stella employs the tableau vivant technique, carefully orchestrating and photographing scenes before transferring them to canvas, often enriched with symbolic and surreal elements. Her large-scale works are characterized by their bold, warm palettes, intricate compositions, and exploration of femininity, power, and vulnerability. She is also a Fulbright Fellow and has exhibited internationally, including solo shows in Greece, the UK, Cyprus, and the U.S. Her work has been part of significant collections worldwide and is known for its caustic humor, playful critique of modern life, and empowering depictions of the female form.

Georgie Huxley Falling into Nowhere Fast, 2025 Pencil on card Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Georgie Huxley (b. 2000) is a painter based in London. A graduate of the Slade School of Fine Art, her work explores themes of connection, solitude, and nostalgia. Using personal archives as source material, their paintings evoke a quiet tension between presence and absence, offering contemplative reflections on the complexities of human experience.   Education 2019-2023 The Slade School of Fine Art, London   Group Exhibitions 2024 Alone Together, 2 Hoxton Street, London Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year, Heat 2, London 2023 Canyon, RuptureXIBIT, Kingston Bedrock, The Crypt Gallery, London Slade School of Fine Art UG Degree Show, London Art on a Postcard Winter Auction, Gathering Gallery, London Filthy Fox Auction Club, Greatorex Street Gallery, London 2022 Running Late, Changing Room Gallery, London TUB, Centrespace Gallery, Bristol Juicebox, RuptureXIBIT, Kingston Awards 2024 Stanbury Award, Slade School of Fine Art   Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork To celebrate International Women's Day, I've created three pencil drawings of Nicola Adilman, captured mid-dance in beautiful and dynamic poses. These drawings were inspired by As of Right Now, a performance choreographed by Nicola (@nicolaadilman), where movement, visual art, and storytelling intersect. While I typically work in paint, I chose to use pencil for these pieces, echoing my use of charcoal in the live performance. I appreciate the impermanence of charcoal in the performance, and pencil allowed me to capture a similar transient, delicate energy in these still moments of Nicola's dance. In As of Right Now, I'm drawing Nicola, alongside Ushara Dilrukshan (ushara_x), live while she dances. The photographs that inspired these drawings were taken by Michelle Rose (@romifolder), whose exceptional eye and artistry have profoundly influenced these drawings. Romifolder's photography beautifully captures the raw emotion and intensity of the moment, allowing me to explore the delicate balance of vulnerability and strength in Nicola's movements.

Arabella Sim Before Earth, 2025 Oil on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Arabella Sim is a painter and draughtsman who works with text, dance, performance and sound. Trained at Central St Martins and the Royal Drawing School, she is a member of the Art Workers Guild and the Pollen Collective. Her work revolves around the human condition, exploring our connection to the land and the perpetual cycle of life and death. Seeing the human figure as a metaphor of our emotions, she uses abstraction and figuration to trigger memories, vulnerabilities and the subconscious. Increasingly, Arabella collaborates with other artists, believing in the synergy created through cross disciplinary practice. Seeing herself as a storyteller, her influences are wide and extensive, stemming from an eclectic mix of theatre, poetry, philosophy, music and dance. At the core of her practice is drawing. Her work is about the physical 'act' of making, and through risk and exploration, she pushes the boundaries of expression. Whether through paint, dance, charcoal or text, layer upon layer is built up, often erased, but always leaving an imprint, a trace of intention.

Noemi Conan Underneath a purple cloud, 2025 Acrylic medium and biro on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Noemi Conan, born in Warsaw, Poland in 1987. Painter. Lives and works in London. Exploring the narrative potential of visual art through surreal, confrontational and/or humorous images of female friends, family and feline companions in forest landscapes of firs and ferns. Weaving slavic folklore with themes from communist and capitalist propaganda into stories based on personal experience of a young woman in off centre 90's Eastern Europe. Having gone through a miraculous journey through space and time, after working miriads of menial migrant jobs, Noemi Conan has finally decided that she's grown up to be a painter. Despite the warnings of her grandmother, despite the deluge of her mother's tears. She was not a good cleaner, not an attentive housekeeper. The famous Polish work ethic has not been ignited by any of the jobs that her friends in London worked their way up through. A passion for storytelling and the need for visual aids to explain a curriculum vitae that either confused or outraged her collegues has finally resulted in a glowing path to the Parnassus of a 'career'. Using plastic colours on canvas, on paper, on glass, on wood, the point of all these ridiculous adventures of the past has been found. Taking on the name of one of her REAL dads, the ones who actually taught her life in a small town in Western Poland all those years ago where even all the cats were female cats, Conan decided to take no prisoners. Following her other dad, the sad Norwegian man with a moustache, she gone over-the-top about her emotional landscapes. The last dad taught her that it's sometimes worth looking way back to go forward and applaud that progression on the faces of your opponents. Thank goodness for Arnold and Edvard and Igor.   Conan's work has been exhibited in the UK and internationally. Her work is in the collections of Soho House London, Glasgow School of Art and the Urban Nation Museum in Berlin. She has been selected as one of Bloomberg New Contemporaries in 2021, has been featured in the John Moores Painting Prize in 2020, the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in 2021 and the Royal Scottish Academy Annual Exhibition. She graduated with a BA (Hons) in Painting and Printmaking from the Glasgow School of Art followed by the Royal Drawing School Drawing Year (2021-2022). Currently at the Turps Studio Programme (2022-2024) and The Fores Project February-March 2023 residency. From september 2024 she will start an MFA in Painting at the Slade in London.

About Eva Merendes is a Greek, London-based contemporary artist and art educator whose work spans painting, drawing, and installations. She works in a variety of mediums with a sweet spot for watercolours and their expressive qualities. Eva creates works on paper and wood panels, drawing inspiration from the humour and absurdity of everyday life. Her practice includes series of works exploring observations, landscapes, and a deep connection to nature, reflecting on the interplay between human experiences and the natural world.

These works explore my connection to nature, capturing the fleeting beauty of changing environments and the sense of wonder and smallness they evoke in me. Using watercolours, I created translucent layers and fluid marks to reflect the delicate interplay of light and atmosphere. These pieces serve as both observations and metaphors, inviting reflection on the resilience and poetry of the natural world.

Nathalie Hollis High Priestess, 2025 Mixed media on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About My work is influenced by elements of theatre, dance, performance and film as well as an interest in the body in motion as a language in itself. I am fixated with capturing movement and the attempt to capture something fleeting on the page, I am also interested in the relationship between drawing and movement and how drawing can become a performative act.

Barbara Storey Blue Turban, 2024 Oil on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About I am a self-taught painter, though in the last few years I attended a selection of courses at Art Academy London and The Heatherley School of Fine Art. I am a member of the Hesketh Hubbard Life Drawing Society at Mall Galleries. I have been showing my work since early 2022 at several venues. I paint ordinary people in ordinary settings, deliberately avoiding any identifiable context or narrative which, I hope, encourages viewers' personal interpretation of my very own world encapsulated on canvas. What I love about the painting as a form of art is the richness of its aspects: the composition, the choice of palette, the myriad ways one can lay the paint, the subject - and that just to name but a few. As I go along my focus of attention varies and wanders from one aspect to another and quite often one dictates the other. But the subject remains always the same: what fascinates and intrigues me in equal measure is us, the people. What subject could be more diverse and complex than the attempt to capture the way we react, interact, how the life leaves a mark and imprints itself on our faces and bodies. There is a true beauty there and so it is in ordinary life.

Catherine Chambers Fortune, 2025 Acrylic on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Catherine Chambers is a figurative artist who documents poignant moments, often from her experiences of living abroad in Ethiopia and the Middle East. Catherine is inspired by environments and their inhabitants, capturing intimate moments of connectedness. However, as with all good portraiture, there is more than meets the eye to her work. These works ask the viewer to confront the complicated dynamics of love, care and identity. This is Catherine's second time working with Art on a Postcard. Her previous contributions zoomed in on feet from her larger paintings. This time, Catherine has created postcards looking at the hands in existing works of hers.

The painting continues a conversation Catherine introduced with her painting "Lying" which won third prize at the National Portrait Gallery in 2024. In this painting, the same sitter holds a bird securely; as it is, the bird cannot fly despite being born to do so. Catherine wants the audience to contemplate, if you have something (could be a relationship, land, artefacts...) but you have it by force or deceit, do you really have it at all? And is it still worth having? Class is a cropped detail from Catherine's larger painting "Between Classes". The girl chooses colours to fill the outlines of a princess. The postcard questions how the girl came to choose those specific colours and how they differ to the girls own image. The work explores ideas of care, influence and status; how they overlap, interact and differ. Fortune is a detail from Catherine's larger painting "Nafkot (Yeabsra)". A child holds a popular paper game, commonly known as a chatterbox or fortune teller. It was introduced to the girl by Catherine in an exchange of sharing games local to one and foreign to another. Games are a recurring theme in Catherine's work, highlighting how unlevel the playing field is in real life. First Hand is a detail from Catherine's larger painting "Holding Space". The hand is of a dear friend of the artist, and celebrates a friendship that challenges outside expectations. It is a prompt to think for oneself and to learn from trusted resources.

Helen G Blake Here we sit, 2025 Ink and coloured pencil on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Helen Blake is an artist whose practice focuses on colour; engaging with rhythm and formalism, chance and deliberation. Using a working method where process and contemplation guide the evolution of the work, she constructs overtly hand-made drawings and paintings which record and examine colour conversations within accumulating pattern structures, embracing accidents, flaws and discrepancies within their rhythms.

Eleanor Ekserdjian New Green, 2024 Oil on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Eleanor Ekserdjian is a painter and film artist. Ekserdjian's practice involves projecting the moving image onto paper or canvas and drawing from and over it, her physical and emotional responses being made visible through rapid mark-making. These paintings and drawings become lyrical landscapes which explore her evolving emotional response to the film. Her most recent film and painting series was made during a six-week artist residency in Armenia, and explores cultural memory through landscape. Pepe Karmel, author of 'Abstract Art: A Global History', defined her work as 'Poetic, elegant and mysterious - a kinetic, subjective transcription of the world into calligraphy.'

In 2022, I travelled to Armenia for the first time as a part of an artists' residency programme - the paintings I made there represented the first sight of a place I had always imagined but had never seen. 'They Will Not Take My Island III' is a response to the power of the Armenian Landscape and its glowing colour. The title refers to Arshile Gorky's drawing 'They Will Take My Island' and this work echoes his response to the loss of his homeland of Van. 'Red Nocturne' and 'New Green' were made on my return and combine the landscapes of both the UK and Armenia. I am interested in the idea of simultaneous landscape.

Arabella Sim Before Air, 2025 Oil on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Arabella Sim is a painter and draughtsman who works with text, dance, performance and sound. Trained at Central St Martins and the Royal Drawing School, she is a member of the Art Workers Guild and the Pollen Collective. Her work revolves around the human condition, exploring our connection to the land and the perpetual cycle of life and death. Seeing the human figure as a metaphor of our emotions, she uses abstraction and figuration to trigger memories, vulnerabilities and the subconscious. Increasingly, Arabella collaborates with other artists, believing in the synergy created through cross disciplinary practice. Seeing herself as a storyteller, her influences are wide and extensive, stemming from an eclectic mix of theatre, poetry, philosophy, music and dance. At the core of her practice is drawing. Her work is about the physical 'act' of making, and through risk and exploration, she pushes the boundaries of expression. Whether through paint, dance, charcoal or text, layer upon layer is built up, often erased, but always leaving an imprint, a trace of intention.

Lily Buchanan Sapling in Blues, 2025 Three colour woodcut print on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About My works lie in a dream world made up of sources from my memories, my everyday environment and my emotions. Desire is a key theme in my work and I use painting to explore surreal situations that we might find ourselves in when seeking out our desires. These situations are tender, brutal, humorous and melancholic. It is this balance of dichotomies that make up who we are. Happiness seems to go hand in hand with a shadow of destruction. The objects in my work are charged with an active symbolist quality that comes from the memories they hold and their own potential consciousness. The figures in my paintings reflect on the chaotic shifting of emotional states as we move through life. The characters are sweetly naïve and desperately curious. The characters in my work that inhabit everyday objects are attempting to relive memories that these objects trigger; in this case the horse chestnut tree near where I grew up.

The symbol of the Tree Girl is part self-portrait and came about through a longing I had to step inside a childhood memory of climbing a tree where I grew up. Through drawing myself as inside the tree I felt I had transported myself into that childhood memory. Tree Girl's face in these woodcuts is inspired by my eleven-month-old daughter and due to her and their tiny size I see them as my saplings; representing new growth and new beginnings.

Molly Burrows Rolling Hills, 2025 Acrylic on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Molly Burrows (b. Munich, 2002) is an artist and workshop facilitator based in South London. Her practice uses abstraction as a means of accessibility; by breaking down the human form into simplified shapes-panels of paint, clay, ink, or paper-she is able to tell stories through body language and share her techniques with others. Her work depicts individuals who are content amongst their natural environments, often blending into and becoming a part of their backgrounds. Her commitment to accessibility extends beyond her practice and workshops- she creates resources for exhibitions and galleries in order to make contemporary art spaces more welcoming.

'Roll-in' considers a scenario which is at once static and moving, poignant and emotive. Emboldened by the challenge, she quietly waits her turn to join the track. 'Pool at Dusk' The pool is off-limits from dusk until dawn. The water, still and calm, allows the lights to settle and reflect. They illuminate the surrounding foliage and create a tranquil moment on a warm summer evening. 'Saturday' An everyday moment caught in the mirror periodically, over the years. I notice time passing with every frame. It catches me by surprise.   You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works.

England Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork 'Cordelia with Bryn' is an intimate painting of my daughter with her first child. The motif of parent and child is one that recurs throughout my whole career as a painter - from making paintings based on my own experience of pregnancy and motherhood to creating a body of work in 1993 'A Shared Experience', that charted the whole experience of hospital birth and was described as 'groundbreaking, the first of its kind'. It's been a privilege to revisit this aspect of my work with my own children and grandchildren. Brothers: A painting that developed from a quick sketch made in a chapel in Padua. I was touched by the sight of a young man who had difficulty walking, being helped through the chapel by another. I am drawn to such moments of human interaction: such simple everyday acts of kindness are a central theme of my work. You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works.

Lily Kemp A quiet stillness, 2025 Acrylic gouache on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About With an underlying interest in exploring narratives touching on the fluidity of gender and identities; Lily Kemp's paintings explore escapism, storytelling, the act of dressing up and playing out imagined roles. Drawing from a range of visual references and written sources, through the process of collage she interweaves figures and images from popular culture alongside found images of landscapes and her own personal photographs. Looking in part at the relationships between popular culture, gender norms and our sense of self. More specifically at our relationship with fashion, how the way we choose to present ourselves can be considered an extension of ourselves and a way of exploring our identities outside of socially constructed binary categorisations. The sense of scale in Lily's paintings is often distorted and exaggerated with an interchangeable indistinct relationship between her figures and the space surrounding them, her landscapes seeming to breathe a life of their own. Scenes are often hyper idealised and fantastical; her figures living within these imagined worlds and dream like realities which are both familiar, yet also border on the performative and theatrical.
