Boy on the shore - commissioned canvas by Shahnaze Creates in London

I am a London based painter, portrait artist and muralist. My work focuses on themes around nature, animals and symbolism and I am inspired by geometric and ethereal/ visionary concepts. I have a degree in Fine art and specialise in oil & acrylic painting, impasto and murals. I have taken part in group exhibitions, live art events, set design for short films and designed and created several large scale murals for schools and businesses as well as private commissions. Astrology is another subject I have studied for some time and shows up in various pieces of my work. I believe that art is a very powerful form of communication and can be used as a therapeutic tool to help anyone achieve their greatest potential. For me, it is a tool I use for reflecting and exploring my outer and inner experience of emotions and the world around me, as well as a place I feel I can take up space! Giving this back to the community and teaching others how to express themselves in this way, makes me feel very fulfilled. I have been teaching art to children and adults in private settings for 5 years and believe that my students charisma and freedom with their creativity has impacted the way I view and make art. I believe in putting 100% of my efforts and love in to every creative task I take on and get excited by opportunities that come my way.
