About Us

Luna Arts is an art organization co-founded by visual artists and educators Wendy Pye and Dagmara Rudkin.

We specialise in creating socially engaged art events, including site-specific installations, exhibitions, collaborative projects, and creative workshops aimed at raising awareness, teaching, and promoting well-being within the community.

Dagmara and Wendy are available to independently facilitate projects and workshops or combine their unique expertise as a team. They also maintain an extensive network of other creative facilitators and therapeutic practitioners who they can collaborate with if necessary.

Luna Arts is located at Phoenix Art Space in Brighton, the largest artist-led organisation in the South East.

Wendy Pye

She holds a B.A in Photography and Film and an M.A in Photographic Arts from London College of Communication.

Throughout her professional career, she has worked in the fields of media and education alongside her own practice as a visual artist. Her personal work combines photography and video to create visual narratives, drawing inspiration from themes related to death and dying, as well as both real and mythical stories connected to landscapes and the sense of place. As part of her current practice, she is working on installation projects in which she creates videos and projections for performance and installation projects in collaboration with writers, poets, musicians, community groups and other visual artists.

Additionally, Wendy is a visual arts tutor at colleges and universities and she has set up her own company Artway UK, which supports international students to prepare and apply to UK arts education.

Dagmara Rudkin

Dagmara Rudkin is a Polish-born artist residing in the United Kingdom.

She holds a BA in Painting and Glass, a PGCSE in Art and Design, and a MA in Sequential Design and Illustration.

Throughout her personal work, Dagmara is influenced by rituals, folktales, and mythology, and predominantly uses recycled textiles and mixed media. Currently, she is researching and developing a new practice, creating custom burial shrouds for green burials.
