Details for overseas friends: @crystalbridgesmuseum has a renowned collection ranging from Rockwell to Warhol, and my personal favorite is work by Kehinde Wiley. Set on 120 acres, and there are several exhibits happening in and outside of the museum right now (@themomentary is well worth visiting). Lots to see and do in Bentonville and NW Arkansas, so make a day of it and then join me with drink and draw! ✏️

Winter temps and productivity ❤️ It’s been wonderful being tucked away in my nice warm, home studio and having several paintings going at one time. A batch of hand studies and round canvases for new work, adding the hot pink and gold background was fun to create! Showing you the blue & gold hand studies up close here ✋🏽

Time out in Croatia and a PROUD AUNT MOMENT! Attending my Nephew's graduation ceremony in Split, Croatia. So proud to see him achieve a huge goal that he has worked incredibly hard for and has come a long way.
We got to visit one of the most beautiful countries and stay in the main city of Split. Some images of historical buildings, museum, scenic parks, beaches and more. A new country visited during this amazing year, some time out, memories created and we celebrated a huge family moment ❤️

Original Oil Painting 'Dupatta #2' SOLD! A huge thank you once again to the @fortsmithregionalartmuseum for helping @shabanakauserart find a permanant collector for this painting. Congratulation to the new collectors!!
The exhibition at this museum has now ended, a huge thank you once again to everyone who came out to support me, purchased artwork, helped behind the scenes and assisted in any way. It certainly was a memorable time and a very rewarding exhibition. The museum still has a collection of prints and notecards for sale in thier gift shop, so feel free to check those out on your next visit.
October is soon approaching and I have been working away behind the scenes, and organizing myself for 3 very different local events. Announcements coming soon!

Pink, Gold and hearts ♥ Work in progress as I create some mixed media paintings with epoxy resin. I have a roll of some of the sari trim I recently purchased from my recent visit to London. I tend to do the resin pouring stage of the process in my garage due, and I create in my studio. The flame is applied once I have poured the resin, as it helps to reduce the bubbles the resin creates. I enjoy moving from my detailed oil paintings where I capture details to my fun abstract paintings.

Thought I’d talk to you everyone today, instead

Thought I’d talk to you everyone today, instead of a post! Back in the studio in my painting overalls, glasses and work mode on 👌🏽

A mixture of some fun pics from my recent 🇬🇧

A mixture of some fun pics from my recent 🇬🇧 trip! It takes me about a week to re-adjust to US time and unpack my case! The first pic is of the mixed media heart I created and dropped off. Posing with my big sis and niece. Fish & chips, English sweets that I remember from my childhood, curry and tandoori bread, South Asian desserts, fabrics and a collection of traditional jewelry I bought home for my art. I made time to take a train journey, I took the same train ride, I did to my job at age 17 in the UK. I needed to experience that journey again.
Just in case you were wondering…I had the best time! 🤣❤️🇬🇧

Sunday Sept 11 at 2pm - Guided Museum tour @fortsmithregionalartmuseum available to attend for free!! Listen to a museum educator share my vision and work as you walk you through my solo exhibition and the entire museum.

Fabric & bling shopping 🇬🇧! One of my favori

Fabric & bling shopping 🇬🇧! One of my favorite days where we shopped at South Asian retail stores for fabrics and jewelry. Packing my suitcase was all color and shine 🤩

I had to add Bhangra 🎶 to this reel! Bhangra, is folk music of the Punjab (Northwestern India and Northeastern Pakistan).

Bhangra was originally a rural dance performed at harvest festivals, the heavy rhythmic swing of bhangra music remains popular in modern Punjabi culture while also gathering new devotees from other points on the globe. The music of bhangra artists plays on dance floors worldwide, often as part of a remix with Western music genres like hip-hop, electronic dance music, and reggae. Contemporary bhangra is also a staple of musical numbers in Bollywood movies.
