Richard Oakes

I am a professional artist, dancer and workshop facilitator recognised for hand painted murals, creative workshops and theatrical collaborative performances. Delivering detailed paintings, innovative workshops, and explorative collaborations, my work caters to the immediate environment with the aims to elevate spaces, inspire individuals and encourage unity. Commissioned by different councils, shops and organisations to design and paint murals reflecting nature. Produce workshops that include art and movement practice. Collaborated with multiple groups and particularly enjoy performing with spoken word artists. Over 10 years in the arts, commissioned by Tameside Council, Wembley Park, Harrow Council and charities such as MyYard.

I’m Hannah, a graphic designer with over 20 years’ experience in branding, print and digital design. I help businesses communicate clearly and confidently through thoughtful, well-crafted design. As a creative partner, I take the time to understand your business, goals and audience, and by working closely with clients and their teams, I create design solutions that are considered, effective and visually appealing. My work covers everything from branding and design for print to websites, including e-commerce. I manage projects from concept to delivery, coordinating suppliers and specialists as needed, and I take pride in being friendly, reliable and responsive while delivering work that adds clarity and confidence to your brand.

I am a professional visual artist and creative producer, celebrated for vibrant, layered explorations of colour. Guided by synaesthetic perception, my meticulously crafted abstract works transform sound and emotion into striking abstractions that captivate with both energy and depth. I collaborate with musicians and sound designers closely and have exhibited internationally, with work represented by Saatchi. I have over 20 years of working in the Rushmoor community as a creative producer, founded the music charity Forward 4 Wiz Trust in 2007 and currently work at Aldershot’s West End Centre as the Community Programmes Manager.
