Mixed Media Painting: An Introduction

About the trainer
Sharina Azlan graduated from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts, with Distinction and a Diploma in Visual Arts (Painting), with High Distinction from LASALLE-SIA College of the Arts. She has been an adjunct lecturer with LASALLE’s McNally School of Fine Arts for the past 17 years and Short Courses trainer for the past 10 years.

Sharina also taught customised art programmes in primary, secondary schools and tertiary institutions. Prior to this, she has commissioned art projects, collaborated on murals and participated in various group exhibitions.

She believes that art and art-making is for everyone to learn and enjoy. She deeply feels that art is the most effective way to communicate across language and cultural barriers and encourages everyone to experiment with different art mediums.

Bridget Tay, a familiar face in the Singapore arts scene, wears different hats as an artist, curator and arts educator.

She was a recipient of the LASALLE Scholarship in 2013 and earned her master’s degree in fine arts from Goldsmiths, University of London in 2014. She recently curated and exhibited in EPILOGUE, organised by The Artists Village for Singapore Art Week 2022 as well as Redaction, a group exhibition of paintings for The Substation. Bridget is currently the president of The Artists Village as well as one half of a collective, AVC which is currently exhibiting Synapse Intarsia for Art Encounters.

Bridget’s practice revolves around playing with cliches as commentaries on the sociopolitical landscape of the world and using the medium as a message in opposition to states of reality reflected in both art and the physical. Her formal explorations in painting look at the concept of space in conjunction with an expanded field of painting.
