Humay studied illustration at the Harrow School of Art in the early 1980’s. A return to Art saw him join Cheryl Gould’s life drawing classes. One thing led to another and his controlled illustration style gave way to a freer gestural method and he is now a member of the Harrow Art Society and Harrow Open Studios.

Humay’s subject matter is very personal including friends, family and himself and their interests. Humay uses oils for his imaginative studies and his life drawings are developed using mixed media (usually oils, charcoal and ink).

He raised money for charity by running a life drawing class which was captured on film and is now running weekly life drawing classes in person.

I will set up a co-production activity which entails my self in conjunction with the visitors painting on a large single canvas.

Harinder Sahota is an artist and teacher, who lives and works in London. She graduated from University of Plymouth, having gained a BA (Hons) in Illustration. Her professional career took her to Hong Kong and Singapore where she worked as a freelance illustrator for various publishing houses and then as a graphic designer – finally returning to the UK in 1998.

Harinder has been teaching drawing and painting for the last 14 years to adults and children at Harrow Arts Centre and Heath Robinson Museum.

In 2022 Harinder decided to take a break from teaching and is now fully immersed in developing her own work. She has a particular interest in faces and people, believing that the painted portrait speaks to people in a way that the written word and photography cannot.
