Enter the world of Urva Patel, a modest painter who discovered her love for art over ten years ago. Starting as a simple hobby, painting became Urva's passion, guiding her on a journey of self-discovery through the world of creativity.

Ten years ago, Urva picked up a paintbrush for the first time, eager to explore the wonders of artistic expression. With curiosity and determination, she immersed herself in the art world, keen to learn and grow with each brushstroke.

Urva's early interest in painting animals with watercolours led her to join the Association of Animal Artists, where she found a supportive community that nurtured her talent. Urva also took up the role of committee member within the group, eager to contribute to its success.

Driven by a desire to broaden her horizons, Urva ventured into abstract painting with acrylics, and later explored the intricate art of portraiture using oils and coloured pencils. Each new technique was a humbling experience, teaching Urva the value of patience and perseverance in her artistic journey.

In 2023, Urva returned to her roots in animal painting, showcasing her work at exhibitions with the Association of Animal Artists and The Wildlife Art Society International. It was a rewarding experience to share her art with others, and Urva felt grateful for the opportunity to connect with fellow artists.

Joining the Walsall Society of Artists was another significant milestone for Urva, allowing her to exhibit her paintings at prestigious venues and connect with fellow artists.

In 2024, Urva initiated the Turner Study Series, a project where she is sharing her passion for the master's artistry with fellow enthusiasts, enriching the artistic community with her insights and discoveries. Additionally, she took the the role of Media Secretary for the Walsall Society of Artists, a responsibility she approached with humility and dedication. She saw it as an opportunity to give back to the artistic community that had welcomed her with open arms.
