Amina Art Ansari - DofE Wing Walk 2025

Amina Art Ansari is a distinguished British-Pakistani visual artist, born in London, with a notable academic background from Central Saint Martins, London College of Printing, and the National College of Arts in Lahore, Pakistan. Her remarkable portfolio includes portraits of Quaid-e-Azam Mohd Ali Jinnah for the Pakistan High Commission in London, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh, proudly displayed at Windsor Castle.

Amina's artistic influence extends beyond the canvas. She has led art workshops aboard the Royal Navy's HMS Argyll and at Lords Cricket Ground, MCC. Her expertise spans from creating evocative artwork to developing thought-provoking concepts that enlighten the cultural discourse. Notably, her British Army painting was unveiled at the Ministry of Defence, garnering significant attention.

Amina's work has been recognized with numerous awards for both art and public speaking, and her contributions have been featured by various media outlets, including the BBC. Demonstrating resilience, she recently underwent cochlear implant surgery, a testament to her unwavering determination.

Amina's multifaceted background encompasses Fine Arts, event management, and communication direction, allowing her to build an extensive network across the fashion, media, and cultural domains. Committed to diversity and equality, she leverages her experiences to transform challenges into opportunities, embodying an artist's mindset. Her pursuit of bridging Western and Eastern artistic expressions captures the essence of visibility and invisibility, intertwined with architectural and patterned elements from both worlds.

I'm taking on the challenge of a lifetime and wing walking to raise money to help transform the lives of young people with the opportunity to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award.  Please sponsor me to help me reach my target so that the DofE charity can reach even more young people.
