Mixed Media Artist
Shalini Bharadwaj
Shalini describes herself as a ‘Creative Experimentalist.’ She says, ‘For me creativity is a journey of experimentation and exploration. The process is as important as the end result. Whether it’s painting, digital design or jewellery making, I rarely start with a preconceived idea. I like to see where the material and momentum take me.'
Being interested in art and design from an early age, Shalini studied Graphic Design at Nottingham Trent University where she won a series of national design awards including the prestigious D&AD (British Design and Art Direction) Award and the Society of Typographic Designers Award and graduated with a First Class Honours degree. After a successful career in online design, having worked with many leading London Digital Design Studios, Shalini now pursues various creative endeavours out of her West London Studio - HUTKE Art & Jewellery being one of them.

Visual Artist
Alex Ebdon
Alex describes the inspiration for his work as being capturing ‘moments of magic’. He says, ‘My work is all about capturing the moment - the moment that nature reveals a second of striking beauty in a landscape, the moment that a glance or expression perfectly describes a person, the moment that elements combine and conspire to turn the mundane into the majestic.’
The British landscape is something that Alex is continually drawn to. Through his semi-abstract paintings he looks to capture the feeling of being within these landscapes and to transport the viewer to a place, moment or memory that they uniquely hold special.
Alex studied Fine Art at Blackpool & The Fylde College and went on to have a distinguished career in advertising. He founded his own art business in 2016, which operates across a range of creative areas. Alex is Chair of the Borough of Ealing Art Trail (BEAT), which provides over 250 artists across Ealing the opportunity to exhibit their work through an annual open studio event.
