About Shilpi
An artist who believes everyone can create
Hi, I'm Shilpi Jain — a UK-based solo artist and art educator based in Ebbsfleet, Kent. My practice spans commissioned acrylic paintings, children's art education, face painting for events, and community workshops.
I believe art has the power to calm, connect and transform. Whether it's a child discovering colour for the first time or a family commissioning a portrait to hang above their fireplace — every piece of art I create carries intention, warmth and joy.
