Trained at the Central Saint Martins for painting, Maha now is a resident artist at the Mansion House in Beckenham Place Park.
She has been painting for 10 years, and about her work Maha shares, “Mostly figurative subjects, I enjoy painting contemporary compositions, experimenting with the angles and perspective of the figures/viewer. I use oil paints particularly for the malleability the medium offers for softer edges. I am drawn to the challenge of this medium, the techniques that come with it.”
Maha takes commissions of pets and family portraits, and designs book covers and illustrations for a Sports publishing enterprise.
