Asha Calnan-Shaikh
BA (Hons) Illustration
I am graduating from the Norwich University of the Arts with a BA in Illustration. I have used my time at university to explore character art and storytelling throughout my work. I love creating stories and bringing them to life for audiences to enjoy, whether it’s comics, graphic novels or children’s books.
My degree at NUA allowed me to expand my creative practice. Although I’m predominantly a digital artist, I developed my skills with processes such as mixed media. I incorporated these into my digital work to add to the visuals within my stories. I am passionate about telling stories from a new perspective with the representation I wish I had seen as a child, and I pride myself on this.
