Siimran Chadhha
Drawing and painting have been my passion ever since I held a brush in my hands as a child. I love that I can express myself and my ideas through colour, brush strokes, textiles, patterns and so much more. Having grown up and worked in India, and studied, worked in London. I have been exposed to different cultures and aesthetics which has broadened my skill set which includes: digital prints, weaving, fine art, block printing, screen printing, and laser cutting. My name is Simran, welcome to my world.
