About us

Create Art Studio was established in 2013 in Ealing Broadway, starting as a small studio with a passion for inspiring creativity through art. Following years of success, we expanded our services to include art workshops, events, and educational programmes in local schools and universities.

At Create Art Studio, we are a team of experienced instructors dedicated to helping students explore their creativity and reach their artistic potential. Whether you are interested in painting, drawing, sculpture, mixed media, or portfolio preparation, we provide the guidance, resources, and encouragement needed to support your artistic journey.

Meet the Team

Nada Alobaidi

I am the owner of Create Art Studio and the lead art teacher. I studied Art and Design, Graphic Design, and Architecture in London, and today I work as an architectural designer, conservator, and restorer while continuing to pursue my lifelong passion for art through teaching.

Since 2015, I have been teaching art to children, helping them develop creativity, confidence, and strong technical skills. More recently, I launched an advanced art class for adults in Ealing, providing opportunities for learners to refine their artistic abilities and explore new creative techniques.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is seeing my GCSE students achieve excellent examination results and produce outstanding art portfolios that support their progression into further education and creative careers. Over the years, I have worked with many local schools and have also been invited to teach as a guest art lecturer at Roehampton University. Through Create Art Studio, I am committed to inspiring students of all ages and helping them discover their artistic potential in a supportive and encouraging environment.

Hello, my name is Maya , and I work as a nanny. I am currently studying Nursing and enjoy supporting and caring for others. In class, I help children by providing supplies and offering support whenever they need it. What I enjoy most is talking with the children and learning about their lives.

My Health and Social Care course helped me develop strong communication skills, empathy, and attention to detail, which are useful in both my work and art class. I enjoy helping others and continuing to learn new skills
