Nasha Cash is a Sheffield born, multi-disciplinary artist and illustrator who’s spent the last decade living and working in Manchester. Having refined a talent for portraiture and figurative works through regular life drawing classes, this skill informs much of Nasha’s work from her acrylic paintings and ink drawings to her work as a live speed portrait artist. Noted for the dynamic use of colour, bold strokes and hard graphic lines, Nasha’s work has a rawness loaded with energy and vitality.
Heavily inspired by dreams, magic and the (sub/un)conscious, Nasha is constantly examining her subject to scratch beneath the superficial and find the shadow. This duality is present in many of Nasha’s works, some more literally than others, creating moments of tension, mystery, confusion and contradictions.
Nasha has worked with a variety of clients, including A+E Networks, Manchester City Council, JD Williams and N Brown, Factory International, Chesterfield college and Now Then amongst many others to create works for many different projects, campaigns and events.
Having exhibited both locally and nationally, with their most recent exhibition being a solo show at Seesaw Space in 2025, Nasha is eager to explore more opportunities both in and outside of Manchester as well as delving deeper into textiles which they first explored in their piece titled ‘The Union Crack’
