After graduating in Media Studies she has always been very conscious about how culture and visual imagery can affect communities and their identities. Murals have a stronger and more direct impact on people's everyday life as they also have the power to transform spaces and create this imagery towards not just a place but also a moment on someone’s life. Combining film studies with illustration, she is always willing to take part in all types of creative initiatives especially when they connect people with art causes. After working mostly with digital techniques, having physical contact with a painting means a whole new way of facing an artistic project. "I am really excited to see how this course can help me to push my own horizons and learn about artistic team work." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb16c1bc482aa3170b5b876/1605873791797-N5G65O5AQUSMSOCAEAEG/Tobias+Carvery Cohort One - Tobias Carvery Tobias is a 22 year old graphic design graduate from Lewisham. He recently graduated from The London College of Communication and has always had a strong interest and passion for murals. From a young age they made an impression on Tobias’ mind, so he realises the importance they have within the community. Compared to other parts of the city, South East London has a lack of murals, and many which once stood proud are either now in poor condition or have been painted over completely. By joining The London School of Muralism, Tobias hopes to be able to restore some of the great, old murals and bring colour and warmth to walls that are currently grey and soul-less. Tobias believes living in modern inner city environments can have severe detrimental effects on mental health, and hopes that painting murals and art will one day be regarded as an essential part of developments. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb16c1bc482aa3170b5b876/1605873832435-F7PCXVIZUU45QOII23UA/Veronica+S Cohort One - Veronica S Having an Arts background and a big interest in mural painting, it has always been a dream of Veronica’s to professionalize in the Public Art field.

Then she moved to Granada to study sculpture and pictorial techniques at the School of Arts while daydreaming and hearing guitars and flamenco music. Attracted by Irezumi (traditional Japanese tattoos) and the beauty of tattooed bodies, she decided to step into this mysterious inked world. Her time as a tattoo artist, doing commissions and creating art, made her realise that the availability of art for all is incredibly important for her, and what better way to bring people and art together than muralism? She believes Muralism is a powerful way to facilitate change, empowering communities speaking directly to the viewer. Three years ago she moved to London starting a new chapter of her story. She wants to grow as an artist and combine all the knowledge she’s gained to create something new and exciting.

He loves drawing, especially people and has recently started painting again. He has some recent experience painting murals with our graduates in Pymmes Park, Edmonton and loves the way it affects not just the surrounding but also how in its own unique way brings people together and gets people talking. He is keen to learn the different techniques and methods of painting murals, how he can incorporate his style of illustration and work as a part of a team. You can check out some of his work on instagram @anolue_art https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb16c1bc482aa3170b5b876/7b0afdf8-7304-4b1c-b7a5-2ce9ceace041/Corrina+Johnson-Lawik Cohort Three - Corrina Johnson-Lawik Corrina is a self taught Visual Artist from London with a background working with vulnerable people. She has a passion for art and a passion for people and has been searching for a way to bring these two worlds together. She also wanted to find a community of artists and like minded people as well as training. She was lacking in these areas because she hadn’t studied art academically and didn’t have the network…. That’s when she found the London School Of Muralism! Corrina has now joined this amazing course to become a Muralist and intends to make art that heals. By that she means art that empowers, inspires, invokes a sense of well-being and progression. Doing this in deprived areas with a participatory process makes this even more meaningful and impactful because the art now reaches out and touches the people that need it the most. Being someone who grew up in an inner city council estate, this type of work means a lot to her. She is really impressed with the skill, passion and purpose found here at LSOM and would like to take some of that and create amazing works of art with and for the people. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb16c1bc482aa3170b5b876/0ccfb39b-14b3-4a65-a449-ca922854df93/Fabienne+Crocket Cohort Three - Fabienne Crocket Fabienne has always enjoyed art as a hobby and likes experimenting with painting, photography, collage and cartoons. The training from the school of muralism will support her to learn new skills and take her art to a more collaborative and public stage.

At the moment she works on an anti-poverty project involving participatory research with children and young people. An unapologetic lover of London, Fabienne has lived in the capital all her life. She is fond of long city rambles and finding art in unexpected places. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb16c1bc482aa3170b5b876/fb1fdc28-0657-47c5-a0b8-206c235a4133/Flo.jpg Cohort Three - Flo Yuting-Zhu Flo is a curious cross-disciplinary performance maker, always seeking hidden layers of the everyday world. She uses various physical and digital formats to create site-specific experiences, including street performance, projection mapping, and sound-walks. She believes public art has the capacity to reinvent the mundane and mobilise humanly emotional connections, which eventually leads her to the course. Born and raised in Shanghai, Flo moved to New Cross for study a year ago. She felt its warm welcome through the vibrant murals in the southeast London landscape and therefore is excited to be a part of the creative effort. She is graduating from her Computational Arts MFA at Goldsmiths in 2022. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb16c1bc482aa3170b5b876/41180ade-4b46-4221-9735-614bd7fb63e4/Heera.jpg Cohort Three - Heera Gul Heera is an Undergraduate student studying Fine Art and Art History at Goldsmiths, University of London, graduating in 2023. Her current practice explores the dualities at play in her mixed British and Pakistani heritage as well as the colonial histories enmeshed in current systems of knowledge and social relations. Heera has a multidisciplinary approach to this practice, combining theory, practice and an interest in the institution of the archive. She believes in championing the democratisation of art and transgressing institutional modes of artistic production by building community networks of care and skill-sharing. She is involved in community projects and volunteering around Lewisham with an emphasis on DIY culture, repair and sustainable creative production. Heera is interested in developing collaborative practices through the LSoM and integrating community organising and activism into image-making. She plans to build this into her work as a creative practitioner once she has graduated. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb16c1bc482aa3170b5b876/e1d40ec2-270c-432b-9ef2-8d0ceb2fcbc0/iva.jpg Cohort Three - Iva Decheva Born in Bulgaria and now a British national, Iva is a very accomplished creative. She graduated from the National Arts Academy of Sofia in 2008 and 2010 respectively, with two MA's and a BA in the Arts and moved to the UK soon after in 2012, where she continues her creative work in the community she now lives. As community based Artist, her present projects can be found throughout London, adorning many windows and interiors in the form of murals and paintings. Textile printing and sculptures made from paper and machine/hand embroidery are just small part of her work, having always been interested in creating objects from alternative recycled materials and unusual textures. Iva has been involved in many exhibitions, events, festivals, and international projects. The Deptford anchor represents Iva, in a community she is proud to call home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb16c1bc482aa3170b5b876/0e8a91cb-b05e-4f40-9f93-b54f1ae5e96c/Luna-10.jpg Cohort Three - Jenny Cox Jenny works as an illustrator and, informed by her background in early years education, also works as an arts facilitator in community and museum spaces.

Jenny previously worked as an educational product desinger, and has recently been exploring public and interactive art as an area to combine her areas of experience and passion for creatively engaging children. Jenny is excited to see how expanding her knoweldege and experience of muralism will allow her to further explore possibilities within public art. She's particularly keen to expand her range of work with young people, and is drawn to projects with community and sustainability at their core. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb16c1bc482aa3170b5b876/15b8b48c-d601-4769-a424-f1aa45f293d8/Lucia.jpg Cohort Three - Lucia Segura Lucia Segura is a visual artist based in South East London, originally from Barcelona (Spain) where she got her degree in Fine Arts in 2014. She enjoys creating atmospheric images full of bright colours, usually mixing realism with surreal and abstract elements, which remind of the inner world. Her work is influenced by her interest in psychology, and it allows her to represent her own feelings and emotions, so she can make people feel seen and inspired. Art helps her think about who she is and how she feels, and she hopes it also helps people to connect with their emotional side and make their sense of self-worth thrive. You can follow Lucia on Instagram. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb16c1bc482aa3170b5b876/129e4c51-daa0-4991-9d7b-06841400fa22/meg.jpg Cohort Three - Meghan O’Malley Meghan is a visual artist and arts manager, living in Brixton. Her painting practice explores storytelling through creating rhymical, fluid and surreal work inspired by her background in physical movement. Her current work as an arts manager within a homeless charity has catalysed her passion to create art that reaches and works with people from varying realms of life, in order to provide opportunities for creative expression and give people the tools to empower themselves. www.meghanomalleyart.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb16c1bc482aa3170b5b876/7341e74c-64e8-4227-a301-a86168b6d784/LSoM+website+-+Student+images+%283%29.jpg Cohort Three - Boudicca Collins Boudicca is a fine artist and scenic painter from South London. She studied at The Slade for a BA in painting and then went on to become a scenic painter for The Royal Opera House as well as working for film, television and events. She would like to fuse the techniques she has learnt for working on large scale set pieces with her own designs and create new artwork for the community. Her love of the natural world is a strong inspiration in her work along with a fascination with pattern and the relationship between the macro and microcosm. Vibrant colours and the influence of tropicalia play a key role in her paintings and reflect her Anglo Indian heritage. Growing up in London she has experienced the uplifting effects of murals and street art and understands the positive impact that art can have within communities and the city. @boudiccapaloma https://www.lsomuralism.org/students-murals daily 0.75 2022-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb16c1bc482aa3170b5b876/1675865399535-JSGM2FN4B6930CGQ3LM5/20210918_124331.jpg Students Murals This is the second mural project by the Second Course Students. It was completed at the end of September 2021 in Chinbrook Meadows. The participatory process involved over 30 local residents and 12 students. After our fare share of struggle, we came up with a quirky and original concept: to paint a bridge inside a tunnel.

Our painted arches resonated with the curves on both entrances and the top curves separated the painted surfaces from an area we left unpainted after consultation with local residents. We were helped in the painting process by local residents as well as prospectus students who were invited so we could see how they performed during the physically demanding sessions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb16c1bc482aa3170b5b876/6ae75d12-dea1-43b2-ad88-c90c33507caa/IMG_20210331_210847_916.jpg Students Murals Welcome Home - one of two final projects from the First Course Students completed in April 2021. We set up to work on the theme of Migration and engaged an external group of Lewisham residents to develop a concept. We led the process with 12 participants in total - six students and 6 participants. At one point we realised we had to find a way to make the subject matter lighter, so we started to think about how would the Advertising Industry ´sell´ Migration. This is when we stumbled across an original idea: That we could take a holiday from our own prejudice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb16c1bc482aa3170b5b876/66c34412-fef3-446d-b584-501eed0fe1e8/Lewisham+School+of+Muralism+Round+2_Portraits_73.jpg Students Murals https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb16c1bc482aa3170b5b876/1605463116627-ALDTKW0Q2WX3ZE3HAPWI/Artmongers-Lewisham-School-of-Muralism-2nd-Weekend55.jpg Students Murals https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb16c1bc482aa3170b5b876/1634654336128-2B0GIGGG383YY6HSQ1D8/20210923_182856.jpg Students Murals After the long shift, you can see how energised the students were. By the time this photo was taken, we had spent 2 weeks painting with no less that 7 painters at any one day.

So for this mural we worked with the Healthy Rivers Project. This process happened during the first lockdown so we meet online. One of the things we really wanted to get right was how to make the most of the tunnel´s potential. Since people a literally walking into the canvas and more specifically under it...we came up with the idea of seeing the river as if a person was lying on the river bed looking up... then suddenly a Kingfisher irrupts into the serene scene. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb16c1bc482aa3170b5b876/08c536ff-36ae-4de4-814d-6d3588ec75d9/IMG-20210923-WA0032.jpg Students Murals “Brilliant – makes the tunnel feel friendlier and safer! said a local resident. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb16c1bc482aa3170b5b876/1638205451890-OJHSZSZK8ROBLWA5LIEV/Artmongers_Lewisham%2BArch_Helen%2BMurray19.jpg Students Murals https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb16c1bc482aa3170b5b876/1638203784599-9UU8GEFT77V8TOUMSKXU/20210924_171254.jpg Students Murals The mural integrates itself to the landscape while adding something unusual. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb16c1bc482aa3170b5b876/1675878700825-YVRE5NKNORV4LIW1MTH0/Artmongers_Lewisham%252BArch_Helen%252BMurray3.jpg Students Murals https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb16c1bc482aa3170b5b876/da593318-0376-4862-ac38-619850e86891/WhatsApp+Image+2021-08-03+at+21.33.44+%281%29.jpeg Students Murals https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb16c1bc482aa3170b5b876/1638205578039-682PU4Q4NWUX6G3Y5F69/Artmongers_Lewisham%2BArch_Helen%2BMurray23.jpg Students Murals Amy Dolan working out what next https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb16c1bc482aa3170b5b876/a020f335-fb32-4533-b5ed-6bc03fbfb141/20210616_045001.jpg Students Murals The back of the tickets was a space for individual freedom and folding gave us a 3D effect https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb16c1bc482aa3170b5b876/1675878516050-6FPFXTJLWQW9Q4OYYEBO/Artmongers_Lewisham%252BArch_Helen%252BMurray26.jpg Students Murals You can get a real sense of the painted arch on this shot.

He is also the artist behind Artmongers, an organisation specialising in public art since 2003. In his over 30 murals in the UK and overseas, he often combines elements of a situationist approach with humour and colour. His art comes from the belief that communities should take ownership of the spaces they inhabit, and changing dead spaces through participatory art can lead to enhanced wellbeing and social cohesion. Patricio came to London from Buenos Aires in 1995 to do an MFA at Goldsmiths. After graduation, he started to take his art to the streets through painting and wearing artworks everywhere he went. He then transitioned to participatory processes and large scale murals. One of his most loved works, Deptford Pearls (2001), overlooks Deptford High Street and has become iconic for the Borough. Other murals in the area include A Thousand Feet Will Follow (2019), By The Way/Marquis of Granby (2017) and Round About Now (2018).

Other professional artists in the field are also contributing in the learning process of the students. Over a period of eighteen months, we run three courses with up to 36 students receiving a scholarship each. This was our pilot programme after which, we complete the course model most likely to deliver successful artists with high impact in the communities they would like to work on. We have been supported by Goldsmiths, GLA, Lewisham Council and three hundred Lewisham residents who contributed through our Spacehive Campaign. Other supporters have include Brewers Paints and Network Rail. During each seven months long intensive course, the students learn a variety of skills with which they can initiate their own projects and follow through from beginning to end. Our focus is to transmit our knowledge in participation, engaging other groups in the creative process and delivering two highly impactful public facing murals at the end of the course. We want the students to further their skills to develop and sustain their own practices as well as contributing to future conversations communities might need to have in shared public spaces. Rooted in South East London, the tutoring artists, led by Patricio Forrester, come from the Fine Arts: Lionel Stanhope was originally a scenic artist and now turned street artist; Adee (Artful Dodger) started as a name writer graffiti artist then turning to muralism via a collaborative & participatory approach.

They began printmaking during a long period of illness, initially to stop people from telling them to get a hobby, and have been creating ever since. Their work often explores themes of social justice and community activism, drawing inspiration from folk, outsider and protest art. They have also begun exploring their own experiences of chronic illness, neurodiversity, and queerness and the broader social context they exist within. Inseparable from their individual practice, Ruan is passionate about collaborative art-making and exploring art as a tool for social change. They have facilitated participatory projects in diverse community settings, including hospitals, schools, and community centers. A proud advocate of wonky art, they firmly believe there’s no such thing as bad drawing.

Airbrushing has become Daniel’s primary tool, not only for its technical precision but for its ability to evoke a sense of fluidity and depth that mirrors the complexities of his cultural roots. Through this medium, he creates realistic portraits that reflect both the vibrancy of Caribbean life and the nuanced nature of the diaspora experience. It has been a long-term goal of Daniel’s to push his artistic capabilities and paint bigger and bigger each year. As an educator he wants to share his passion for the arts and extend the conversations and stories that he has with the rest of the world. That is why Daniel thinks murals are so powerful, as he believes they can connect with the outside world the most.

She financed her way by assisting artists such as Damien Hirst and Henry Hudson. Alongside this she worked in prop houses and art department for live television shows. Her passion for painting was developed seasonally on festival sites such as Glastonbury and Boomtown where she painted large scale stages outdoors and in all weather. She soon stumbled upon scenic painting which married her background in painting and her experience in the television world. 2019 saw an opportunity to paint a 100m mural in Japan for and with a local community, this ignited the joy of illustration, the warmth of community efforts and the performance of painting. Covid halted further projects and Clare returned to England to work on feature films for the next 5 years. She now has a young family and hopes to rekindle working with communities bringing out their stories.

She draws ideas, thoughts, feelings, and testimonials in an accessible, and vibrant way resulting in a visual narrative of sessions and workshops. Lived experience is so crucial in improving a product or a service rather than second guessing what people need, especially within marginalised communities. Her work is instantaneous, fast and she really enjoys the social element as well as the energetic nature of illustrating in this way. In-between these projects generating patterns with a lot of detail is a massive passion. This is also the go to setting she utilises to process some of the “Lived experience” testimonials as they can often be very emotional. Beci has recently undertaken solo mural projects but is keen to dive into the teamwork and collaborative element of this course and build on her skillset!

His work often focuses on different emotional states, mental health, and the pressures society puts on people, minorities and the planet. In his artworks, he draws attention to the sensitivities and taboos of everyday life, such as isolation, anxiety, depression, alienation. These subjects became part of his artistic practice quite naturally, due to suffering a burnout in 2012, when working a high-powered job in the financial industry. Consequently, he began to practise and teach meditation and energy healing. Creating multi-sensory experiences is a key pillar of Andreas’ practice: he collects and recycles materials found in our surroundings and turns them into mixed-media artworks. He digitises and manipulates the final outcome with the view to create abstract patterns, which are then printed onto fabrics, interiors, and accessories.

Graduating from the Slade in 2019, he then studied at the Royal Drawing School's Drawing Year 2022 where he was selected as one of the New Contemporaries 2023. His work has been displayed in institutions such as the Barbican Art Gallery and Christie's London and is held in several public and private collections including the Government art collection and the Royal Collection. His practice delves into dance music subcultures and the vital role of London’s community spaces in shaping them. Rooted in his upbringing in South London's grime and jungle scenes, his work starts as on-site observational drawings, capturing the dynamic relationship between MC, DJ, and crowd. His gestural work is made through dance and captures the beautiful moment that occurs when a dancing crowd slips into unison, where the outside world disappears and the singular melts into the whole.

Alongside her creative practice, Felcie works as an ESL teacher. Her work is influenced and inspired by the people that she connects with and their ideas. Through the London School of Muralism, Felcie aims to develop her technical skills and move towards a full-time career as a mural artist creating collaborative work and facilitating community-focused workshops.

Their work uses visual language to examine presence, emotion, and the relationship between artist and environment. Lore works across acrylic, oil, pastel, linocut, jelly print, and spray paint, selecting materials according to conceptual and spatial demands rather than medium‑specific constraints. Since 2021, spray paint has become a significant part of their practice, encouraging a direct and responsive engagement with surface and scale. Their work is characterised by strong formal decisions, symbolic elements, and references to historical narratives adapted to present‑day contexts. Through this approach, Lore aims to produce work that is accessible, visually immediate, and emotionally grounded, creating meaningful engagement with diverse audiences.

Drawn to creating immersive environments via large-scale painting, his developing mural practice is known for its blend of figuration and abstraction, carving a niche for fact and fantasy to collide. Eli’s idiosyncratic visual language fuses his transsexuality with dense symbolism from his Celtic heritage, combining ancient art-making rituals with pioneering politics. Primarily self-taught, Eli seeks to create socially-engaged art which, like a form of contemporary folklore, is immersed in living culture - in sharp contrast to the separatist, purist concept of ‘fine art’ which exists as a commodity in cordoned-off elitist spaces. Embodying his beliefs that art should radically reclaim and transform space, forge intersectional social bonds, and give a voice to ‘othered’ subcultures, his imperfect work is found in non-institutional, non-hierarchical spaces such as squats, raves, streets, zines, bedrooms and DIY venues. With years of experience working with children in arts education, Eli's facilitation style emphasises intuitive play, inclusion and imagination.

Their practice is about turning barriers into opportunities, allies into accomplices; figuring out how to do the best they can, and trying to do better. Their work is scrappy and DIY in every sense: the finished work, and journey to get there. They work on crip time, embracing the journey it takes for a creative seed to develop and grow to full bloom; working with their wonky body and brain as creative partners, not forces to push through at any cost. Originally from Belfast, they have lived in Deptford for over a decade. Their work has been exhibited locally at hARTSlane, Apparatus Gallery, Deptford Lounge Library, and local commissions include HOME IS WHERE THE (HE)ART IS (Lewisham Homes Community Development Fund, 2023-24); Tyre Pressure Laboratory, Liberty Festival 2022 (Spare Tyre); Resident Artist (Theatre Centre); Safe&Sound (with Good Behaviour, Sydenham Arts).

Her work has evolved through exploring a range of artistic approaches, leading to exhibitions in London and commissioned portrait work. Portraiture remains central to her practice, focusing on presence, identity, and emotional depth. Alongside this, she works with egg tempera and iconography, engaging with traditional techniques and symbolism to create work that is deliberate, layered, and reflective. These methods inform her interest in stillness, observation, and the spiritual or contemplative aspects of image-making. She is now moving toward large-scale works that engage directly with community, collaboration, and public spaces, aiming to reflect collective stories, cultural memory, and lived experience, while helping others find their voice through art, and meaningful creative participation together.

Tayiba is self-taught and uses painting as a quiet language for what cannot always be spoken. Her practice explores emotion, movement, and perception, inviting viewers into moments of reflection shaped through colour, texture, and gesture. She is drawn to the way art can hold multiple meanings, allowing each viewer to find their own story within the work. Muralism appeals to Tayiba for its scale and openness—its ability to exist within shared spaces and become part of everyday life. With a growing interest in film set design and immersive environments. She is motivated by the transformative potential of public art: to connect communities, amplify underrepresented voices, and create environments that feel inclusive and alive.Through the London School of Muralism, she seeks to deepen her technical skills, build confidence, and continue developing a practice rooted in collaboration, curiosity, and thoughtful visual storytelling.

Volunteering on community mural projects in Edmonton and in Lewisham sparked her passion for muralism and its ability to bring people together and transform shared spaces. She has facilitated art sessions for family and friends in her local community, providing art materials and encouraging shared creativity that builds confidence and connection. Creativity has been central to her own mental health, helping her navigate challenging periods while inspiring her first paid mural commission, with further projects in development, and the ongoing development of her handmade crafts business. She also finds joy in creating mandalas, using their meditative qualities to support reflection and wellbeing. Community and collaboration are at the heart of her practice, and she is passionate about using art to foster connection and wellbeing.

Since then, Lottie has explored taking her work to larger scales, lending her hand on a range of community murals, as well as developing her own artistic style through large scale canvas paintings. Lottie loves the use of bold colours, patterns and abstract shapes in her work, but has noted the exciting challenge of pushing herself outside of her artistic comfort zone when starting the course. Lottie was involved with running a community arts festival in Manchester, where her desire to work within community groups was born. She recently moved to London, and with a love for connecting with people, sharing stories, experiences and collaborative creation, Lottie is excited to be joining the cohort this year. She believes this is the perfect opportunity for her to merge her passions for creativity, with her curiosity for community.

She enjoys the natural world around her as well as the everyday that she likes to see in a different lense such as a dapper gentleman fox or a cup of tea as a witches brew.
