Here in Newcastle, we are so lucky to have such a large number of artists calling our city home. One of those is Annie Everingham, whose distinct pastel acrylic canvases have been capturing our hearts and making us swoon for many years. We sat down with Annie to find out what she’s been working on lately.
Our amazing co-founder, Bec, has recently returned to work from maternity leave following the arrival of sweet Charlie. We could not be more stoked to have her back (albeit part-time) and wanted to take the opportunity to re-introduce her!
We know, that you know, that Swell is the best print magazine in Newcastle. But perhaps there’s a thing or two you don’t know about us and what goes on behind the scenes? Say no more.
If you’ve spent any time with our Content & Marketing Strategist, Hannah, you will have probably heard a Ted Lasso reference or two. Some may use the word ‘obsessed’, though Hannah prefers to say she’s just passionate about a good story. After endless tidbits of info being dropped into random conversations on a daily basis, we’ve finally let her write a story about her favourite show and the life lessons we can take away from it.
If all sales people could be as friendly as Sance, the world would be a far better place. This is part two in our People Behind the Pages series, where we get to know the Swell team just that little bit better. Everyone, meet Sance!
In another instalment of our Swell Alumni series, we chat to author and illustrator Leila Rudge about her two latest books, getting creative during lockdown, and the power of imagination.
Did someone say locally made, specialty chocolate that (almost) looks too good to eat? Oh wait… that was us, drooling a little whilst chatting all things Cocoa Nib with founder Aymee.
For our first ever issue of Swell Magazine, it was a tough call to go past the incredibly dynamic duo that is Josh and Jason from Scrubba Body. Now that we’re 12 issues on, we thought it was time for a catch up!
If you’ve ever taken a wander around Newcastle CBD, sipped a cocktail at one of your favourite local bars, or happened to drop by our (incredibly colourful) office on Crown Street, you’ll be familiar with Kiasmin Burrell. A local artist and painter, a passionate Novocastrian and a true lover of colour.
As much as we all love to hide behind our screens, we know that at some point we need to show up and let you see the real us. Which is why, over the next little while, we’ll be introducing each of the wonderful humans who make up Team Swell – starting with our newest addition – Hannah Mills, Swell’s Content and Marketing Strategist.
