Authenticity is a group exhibition showcasing a collective of South London artists who are committed to nurturing creativity in our local community through sustainable art practices. They hold workshops to make art available to everyone. The exhibition will feature pieces from four artists at various stages in their careers, each with different interests. They all want to try new things, push their artistic boundaries, and change how people see their styles. They also think that making art more affordable can benefit both artists and the community. All artworks will be priced at under £300.

Claire Brennan was born in Ireland and having lived in a great many places, photography was an early interest and I then went on to study an Art Foundation. After learning more about photography and video in London I then gained a BA Hons in Fine Art in Chelsea. I then very much enjoyed experimenting and learning new disciplines. Ceramics, bookbinding, printmaking , sculpture, collage and glass art were amongst the courses I embarked on. My artwork sells regularly online, at fairs and in shops in the locality. Recently, one of my mixed media pieces was longlisted for the Saatchi. I've had three solo shows and I enjoy taking part in group exhibitions.
