Hi! I’m Nasha Cash, multidisciplinary artist and illustrator from Sheffield, based in Manchester, UK. I create work exploring themes of relationships, humanity and dreams – often using anthropomorphic animal actors as tools to represent archetypes.

I work with a variety of mediums, including, Ink, acrylic, pastel, water colour, textiles, and digital. My acrylic paintings are known for their distinctive bold colours, hard outlines and broad brushstrokes.

I’m also known for my speed portraits and live illustrative work due to my unique style, using watercolour, coloured pencil and ink.

My work in ink is all about dreams and surrealism, I love high contrast and heavily patterned pieces – many of these pieces are inspired by dreams, meditations, scrying and other practices.
