Trained at Falmouth School of Art, and since has had over 20 solo exhibitions and 30 selected group exhibitions in the UK, including many collections of work held internationally.

Kieran also owns an Art Gallery in central Oxford, where he is known as a passionate tutor of painting and drawing.

The exposure was a turning point in his career, Lewis describes himself as “a premium degree pencil wizard, and mouse master of the first order.” At present he is working as an artist and illustrator in the East End of London. His distinctive works explore “beautiful, nonsensical meaning,” blending elements of ancient mythology traditional oriental design, and contemporary street art.
Esther Lafferty - Festival Director of Oxfordshire Artweeks, the country’s most well established open studios event with over 400 exhibitions and events across the county during May each year. Esther started life as a publisher and event organiser before setting her sights on the art world in which she, to her delight, she has been increasingly engulfed. She contributes regular Art Features for OX magazine and her writing can be spotted elsewhere in the local media.
Gareth Lloyd - Art Consultant at an Oxford High Street Art Gallery. A former soldier who discovered his artistic talent on tour in Iraq, Gareth is now an Oxford based Artist creating endearing wildlife art in pencil and charcoal focusing on capturing the soul and the character of each animal he portrays.
