meet LAURA & THEO
Welcome to Northern Yin and Yang, a vibrant art studio of creativity and community nestled in the heart of South Shields, North East England. Led by Laura and Theo, our studio is a harmonious combination of our artistic expertise, inspired by the philosophy of yin and yang.
Drawing from Laura's expertise in Fine Art and Contemporary Practices and Theo's adventurous spirit as an American artist, our collaboration embodies the essence of yin and yang—balancing contrasting elements to create harmony and unity. At our studio, we embrace this philosophy in our artworks and collaborative nature. Each piece we create reflects a delicate balance of contrasting ideas, styles, and perspectives, resulting in a fusion of creativity.
But our commitment to yin and yang extends beyond our individual works. Together, we strive to create a supportive and inclusive environment where artists and businesses from all backgrounds can thrive. Like yin and yang, we believe that true harmony comes from embracing diversity and working together towards a common goal.
Join us and experience the power of yin and yang in art and community. Together, let's create a symphony of creativity that uplifts, inspires, and supports mental health.
OUR WHY?
What truly sets us apart is our collaborative spirit. Laura and Theo seamlessly merge their talents together, we're not just making art—we're crafting experiences that inspire and uplift. Beyond creativity, we're committed to supporting mental health through art. We believe in the therapeutic benefits of creative expression and strive to provide a nurturing environment for all who join us on their artistic journey.
But our commitment to supporting local goes beyond our gallery walls. We source our materials from local suppliers and collaborate with independent businesses for our workshops and events. By doing so, we contribute to the growth and sustainability of our community while fostering meaningful connections with our neighbours.
