(2006, BFA Applied Art)
sapna.sgs@gmail.com
In 2006, I received my BFA in Applied Arts and began working in various design firms in sectors such as exhibition design, stage design, graphic design, and so on. I relocated to Dubai and began working on developing my portfolio of realistic portraits in conventional mediums such as watercolours, pen and ink, fine liner pens, charcoal, soft pastels, pencil colours, mixed media, and others.
I taught art in schools before becoming an Adjunct Faculty member at the Manipal Academy of Higher Education in Dubai for first-year animation students. There, I began exploring with digital tools and incorporating them into my past knowledge and practises. As a representative artist in the UAE, I attended many seminars with the Wacom Middle East team, including Comic Con 2022. I recently completed my MA in World Building with Creature Design at Leeds Arts University in the United Kingdom.
I am continuing my profession as a professor.
