Arts Hub 2024 Project
Keri Green and Louis Neale were the artists in residence for the first year of the Arts Hub project. They staged some amazing workshops in the community while using the studio space to produce their art.

"The Arts Hub has been an incredible opportunity for both my creative practice and personal growth. Through workshops for the community I've been able to discover new sources of inspiration for myself. The studio has provided a much needed space for me to try new materials and media, giving me the freedom to create new work"

Keri Green
Illustrator
I am an illustrator and designer based in the foot of the Mendip Hills. After graduating with a first class Honours Degree in Illustration, I returned to Bristol where I worked as a lead designer and illustrator for over 10 years.
Now a full time picture book and educational illustrator, I have had the pleasure on working with a range of publishers including Macmillan and Oxford books, as well as working on projects for Disney and Dreamworks.
I create the majority of my work using procreate and the adobe suites, whilst still dabbling in traditional media of colour pencil and watercolor crayon.
Louis Neale
Mixed Media Artist
Having grown up In a small rural village, the natural environment is a constant influence on my work. My creative practice delves deep into the materiality of obscure objects, forming and manipulating what is foraged and forged from the past.
I studied Fine Art at the Manchester School of Art in 2021 and have since worked as an assistant with artists Bruce Munro and Sandra Porter. For the past year, I travelled South America, gaining an interest in heritage and craft culture and how these traditions are passed on to new generations. I am currently living and working in Somerset.
