Shreena Patel was passionate about art from a very young age. She studied at the University of the Arts London and Brunel University (Fine Art- Graphics and Multimedia Technology & Design). “I’m known for my creative flair and love for all things colours and matching! (I even matched my stationery to my clothing at University!)” she told Asian Voice.
Since graduating, working in the civil service, getting married, having a baby and everything else in between, Shreena Patel says that she has been lucky enough to focus on her art (full-time) and have many of her paintings placed in beautiful homes.
Shreena’s artwork is bespoke and hand-painted and my specialism is Acrylic on Canvas with a dash of sparkle with my signature lines.
“One of the first pieces I sold was my painting of Ganesh Bhagwan, religion is very close to my heart and my passion is to continue to paint deities to bless homes and bring smiles to faces. My paintings have been shipped all over the world including UAE, India, Netherlands, Las Vegas and South Africa. My canvases have even blessed the homes of Harbhajan Singh, Geeta Basra, a Bollywood actress and British TV Personalities such as Seema Malhotra from the Real Housewives of Cheshire. I’ve currently been nominated for an award so fingers crossed!” she told Asian Voice.
“My greatest achievement was turning my passion for art into a full-time business and having the opportunity to paint Ganesh, Sai Baba, Mahadev, Hanuman, Guru Nanak and many more,” she added.
Speaking to Asian Voice about art during the pandemic, Patel said, “I’m still currently shielded due to health reasons so all of my creations and paintings are done in my studio at home. People often ask- ‘how are you coping having not left the house for over two years?’ but my answer is simple- I have a toddler who keeps me on my toes and I have been extremely blessed with commissions that keep me busy and at the same time- helps with my stress levels which impact directly on my health condition. I’m very excited for the future post-pandemic as I will be able to showcase my work at exhibitions and meet my lovely clients face to face.”
