As we said in our previous post we are going to highlight the new members to the RiseCreatives site. Today we start with Cherith Brown.

This year she is taking part in a joint exhibition organised by the University of Ulster’s School of Art and the School of Design and Visual Art (SDVA) at Georgian College, Canada. The exhibition titled “Exchange” is an exchange of works on paper. Students from the SDVA, Canada will be exhibiting their work at the University of Belfast while the Irish students will be exhibiting their work in Canada.

One of Cherith’s pieces “Anomaly” was selected by the University of Ulster to be part of their art archive. Her current portfolio of work is on show in her web space, where she is exhibiting a range of beautifully intricate pen and ink drawings.

A number of new artists, designers and craftspeople have joined RiseCreatives over the past few months many of them recent graduates. Some have decided to continue their studies while others are beginning the process of developing their careers in their chosen fields. The quality of the work that our new members are exhibiting in their portfolio web spaces is absolutely fantastic so we have decided to highlight them here in our blog as well as on the RiseCreatives site. Each week we will feature a new member as they talk about their work, past and current exhibitions and their plans for the future.

Our new members include Aisling Wallace, Cherith Brown, Lesley Kelly, Rory Hutton, Fiona Byrne, Michael Dolan, Vivienne Martin, Jennifer Millar, Laura Curran and Tommy Long.
