With a BA (Hons) degree in Business Studies, majoring in Economics from the University of West London, Shabana’s academic background is rooted in analytical thought, but her true calling has always been in the arts.
A lifelong admirer of the great masters, Shabana nurtured her creative passion from an early age, studying classical techniques, attending evening art classes, and immersing herself in art history. Her deep curiosity led her to travel extensively, visiting museums and galleries around the world, and honing her skills by studying and emulating the works of modern and classical masters alike.
Alongside her artistic development, Shabana dedicated herself to arts education, volunteering in schools and teaching small group art sessions for several years.
