Extra information
I am an artist who draws upon an interest in consciousness to inform my impressionist and expressionist work. Using a mark-making style, my intention is to ignite a sense of inward and outward awareness, one that the viewer could bring into their life beyond the initial engagement of my art.

I am a regular exhibitor at The Other Art Fair - the world’s leading art fair for established and emerging artists. I was also selected to participate in the Cluster Contemporary launch in 2022 - a curated international group show for established and emerging artists.

Through various exhibitions and events, I’m able to sell between 35 and 50 paintings a year. I am a full time artist and will bring all of my real-time learning and experiences to you.

This course is perfect for artists of all levels weather you’re a school student or recent graduate who wants to learn how the current industry works, a mature artist who wants to make a career change and transition to full time or a self taught artist.

My work is mostly held in private collections in the UK and USA.

Basic geometric pattern is for anyone from any field of art. The pre-req that is required for the course is patience and resutltantly it will teach you versatile language of visual proportionality which will any art practiioner who is either working on 2D or 3D space or any kind of visual art. Geometry is not an art form it is tool to develop visual to understand art or space which we are enclosed around.
Particularly in this we focus on Mughal and Alhambra's visual asthetics just to make the students to be focused. But will definitely understand in the initial classes that they will absorb lots different visuals which they are regularly around them. It is a tool to understand frames, depths and differents tillings.
Students will learn the following via Demonstrations/ practical, Lectures:
1. Fundamental use of compass /Polygons and their jorgans
2. Drawing six-fold & four-fold geometric patterns, which have been used throughout Muslim traditional art; Use of isometric grids in Islamic geometric design/patterns
3. Understanding of different proportionalities of tessellations.

I am a professional dancer and teacher. My work ethics are very aligned with buddhism and want to help people to feel good in their own bodies, releasing trauma, blockages and tensions. This is an opportunity to also have a good time and be in touch with your emotions through movement.

I use the body to understand ourselves and our deepest thought process by truly connecting with the present moment. I use meditation and other techniques to help us drop the voices in our heads and create a free channel of connection with higher self. My intention is to help the body be the vessel it is and gain trust and confidence in who we are.

The class will explore and experience a variety of painting techniques, media, and historical approaches to art. Painting is a problem-solving class dealing with form, colour, line, and texture (figurative and abstract).

Students will be taught in a workshop format that is based on assignments from the instructor. This class will help them discover their creativity, individuality and unique style. They will begin to work toward building an original body of work that can be used as a portfolio that will include paintings, drawings and mixed media art.

Portrait Sketching is a skill which you need when who don’t have any idea on what to gift people on their birthday’s. Just kidding.
In this age of digital media, if you still want to learn physical sketching and painting, you have my heart. The worth of a hand drawn sketch or painting is still more.
This class would have basics to advanced techniques of sketching and painting and would require basic pencils, paint and your own brain in the beginning, then we can move to other tools required.
Don’t worry if you haven’t painted or sketched before, the worst that could happen is lot of pages being torn but some might turn out to be abstract which we can sell and then split the money, hahaha! that’s it, rest would be fun.

Express yourself with art. Escape reality or better create your own reality. Put your emotions into art. Get into zone and create. It is never too late or too early for art.

I am a Goldsmiths BA Fine art second year. I do paintings and scultings mainly and sculptural paintings. I love to understand and feel the materials and use the materialities' characteristics and histories to symbolise meanings in my work.

My class would be suitable for potential young childrens or teenagers who are interested in art or want to get into art. As art is the language for me, I would love my students to enjoy and show their creativity in my class and I would help them to develop and create actual works in real life.

There would be no pressure in this class I have experice of tutoring 10year old child and he was enjoying every class. He had ADHD and showed ADHD behaviours during class but as a neurodivergent person I gave him a breaks during classes and talked about his interests so I could figure out what he is interested in so I could prepare next class for him and at the same time the kid could had his little refreshment from doing art work. And I had 1:1 meetings with their parents because they wanted to know how it went and how he was behaving so I gave her a lot of feedbacks from my perspective (I did let her know it is from my perspective) .

My dream is to be an artist/ art professor(university tutor) as I also had mental health issues so I am aware of how to deal with people who should I take more care of and also as a neurodivergent person I could deal with neurodivergent students:)

My curriculum would be very personalised by students.

If you are interested leave me a text message:)

🕒 Expect to enhance your skills through a diverse range of techniques in both traditional and digital formats, tailored to your individual preferences. We’ll foster a collaborative environment filled with experimentation and fun.

To succeed in Fine Art, we need to open our ways of thinking. Oftentimes, we can feel stuck, lost or uninspired. In this class, I will teach you how to move forward in these moments; how to produce a healthy momentum in yourself to find excitement in your projects and push through them to the finishing point.

Fine Art is unlike any subject in that it really comes from the individual. There is no "right way", but if there is no discernible path, where do we go? I can show you how to tap into your inner artist and create and move through projects with a self-direction that will build your confidence, ignite passion and open unlimited ways to express yourself regardless of technical ability.

Is there a project you are currently working on that you are stuck with? Are you feeling uninspired in your art journey and want some new life injected into it? Is your confidence in your abilities low? Do you feel you are wasting your time with art but you really love it when you are doing it? Are you studying and repeatedly getting similar feedback/marks but are unsure how to take it to the next level? I can help you.
