Welcome to the
The 80/20 Artist Community
Do you feel blocked in your creativity, lack motivation/inspiration or sometimes feel you are not quite good enough, then you are not alone. This summit will help you break through some of these barriers and help you move forward in your art.
Why 80/20?
The 80/20 ratio is based on the Pareto principle where roughly 80% of outcomes come from 20% of causes. We use this phenomenon to help prioritize tasks and our creative efforts. In this event we see the 80% as many common barriers that are mostly self-generated and stop us moving forward in our art. But the good news is all of them can be turned around to work to our advantage.
Approx. 80% of our barriers are stories in your mind, Taking 20% Action will give you 80% result!
Why you should join this summit?
Maximum value with talks, panel discussions and Q&A on both days by dynamic arts experts who will share their powerful inspiring stories, to help you take your art to the next level.
After participating in this summit, you will:

Who’s Speaking?
Avnie Shah
London, UK
Creativity helped Avnie express her trauma and overcome past struggles. From a young age, she felt invisible and struggled to belong, constantly striving to fill a leaky bucket. Surviving the Bali bomb explosion in 2002 and witnessing her mother’s traditional funeral in a remote Indian village intensified her feelings of loneliness and frustration. However, these experiences fuelled her personal growth over a decade, shaping her into who she is today. Selling her art in Dubai and organizing events like the 80/20 artist summit and Unwined, Paint & Sip brought the transformative power of community to light. Seeing others overcome challenges, improve their well-being, and find purpose brings her immense joy and contentment.
Avnie’s Vision: To support artists worldwide to expand their creativity and be fully expressed.

Wesley Morris (aka Wez)

Speaking on – The Art of Art
I’m 34 years young and I have always had a interest for art from a very young age until it eventually became a passion. I’m a father, a husband and also work a full-time job focusing on my art during the evening. Art was just a hobby for me until my younger sister encouraged me to show my work to the world via social media and it exploded from there!! Holding my own Exhibitions, workshops, selling hundreds of pieces and working along side a fantastic charity I’m truly blessed.
