Ellie Talay-Minaei

Subject: Art

My name is Elham (Ellie) Talay-Minaei. As an artist, I started my journey in 2012, exploring various mediums such as watercolour, acrylic, and oil painting. Since then, I’ve been actively involved in the watercolour art scene and have developed a deep passion for this expressive medium. In 2019, I moved to Bristol and have been connecting with the local arts community, which has been a truly positive and rewarding experience.

My main objective as an artist is to share my passion with others, whether they are established artists or newcomers looking to explore their creativity. I love creating an atmosphere where students can thrive and enjoy the positive energy that painting brings. I’ve developed various techniques throughout my artistic journey, some commonly used by other artists, and some unique to my personal style.

Currently, I teach watercolour classes at Stoke Lodge, where I guide students in creating beautiful artwork while helping them develop their unique styles. My classes are designed to be informative, engaging, and enjoyable, as I believe that learning should be a fun and rewarding experience.
