Empowering Artists

Sara Shakeel is a self taught digital artist who has moved into sculpture and brings her first solo show to the Now Gallery at Greenwich Peninsula, London. Ahead of the exhibition, The Great Supper, Sara and I talked about her journey into the art world. We talk about happiness, social media, her quote ‘every picture heals a part of me and I hope it heals a part of you too’ and her successes as an artist that travels the world and is courted by major brands. Sara started out as a dentist and moved into making art because it made her happy. Sharing on social media she gained the attention of celebrities, later visited the Swarovski factory, and recently designed the cover for Grazia Italia. She produces a lot of editorial work for various magazines and brands. Her first large sculpture piece at the Now Gallery in Greenwich is her first solo installation. And from here she hopes to create more physical art works. The exhibition is at Now Gallery, Greenwich Peninsula, London SE10 from 15 May to 23 June 2019. See
