*Showcasing Havering Artists*
'The Thing About Artists' art book and launch event allows Havering artists to roll with the big boys of urban art. We will showcase talent from Havering to future artists and to art lovers like you.
About the Project Creator
We are Lisa Brennan and Majida Burch, artists based in Havering, and our company is called Brennan & Burch. You may have seen our work on the wall by Romford station, where our New Forest design was used as part of Colour in Romford project by Made Public. We are co-creators of new artist network YAY mates and we have been working as artists in the borough for a decade after moving over here from North London. We struggled to get recognition as illustrators locally and we hope that this book will help other artists.
We have a strong signature style and we hope to bring this to the book - making it bold, colourful and a real statement. We are carefully curating the book so it is a mix of hidden gems alongside more well-known and established artists. We have been working as artists since 2000 and we know how hard it is to 'hit the big time'. If this book launches just one artist's career, or helps one child follow their dreams to a career in art, we will be thrilled.
