Happy International Women’s Day!! Today celebra

Happy International Women’s Day!!
Today celebrates the social, economical, cultural and political achievements of women. Through my work, I have been fortunate to meet and be inspired by a list of women who have a powerful cause, are driven and follow their mission despite the odds ✊🏽

I’d like to highlight @chic.ngold to you all!! It was a pleasure to meet the founder, Munira Syeda, who is based in Dallas TX. Munira helps to promote and sell hair accessories and clothing, crafted by artisans and refugees located in Pakistan. I am pictured here with a @chic.ngold product….I love my new beautiful blue bandana, the detailed stitching up close is ❤️ This design was hand stitched by refugee women from Afghanistan, who are now living and working just outside of Karachi in Pakistan.

Please check out @chic.ngold , give them a follow, a like or better still purchase some hair accessories and support women in Pakistan, and refugees working hard to better themselves through running a small business. Thank you Munira, for sharing their work here in the US.

Some fun content created with @the_art_collective_

Some fun content created with @the_art_collective_gallery located in Downtown Rogers AR. I love the fabulous wall that the gallery owner, James, curated with my work - Thank you! I obviously had to add some Bhangra music* into the background here!!

Save the Date: March 25, 6pm-10pm catch up with me @the_art_collective_gallery during the opening reception ‘Four-D Art Exhibition’. Visit the gallery page for more info about this event!

*Bhangra music is of Punjabi origin. The Punjab area is located in the Northern part of the Indian subcontinent. Today this area is in a part of India and Pakistan. Going back to the music....the style has its origins in the folk music of Punjab as well as western pop music. Bhangra historically existed only as a dance form in the native Punjab. The roots of modern bhangra music date back to the Sikh Punjabi community in Punjab during the 1960s.

This is what we woke up to this morning in Northwest Arkansas!! Seemed like an appropriate soundtrack to add to the reel 🤣 My home studio in our backyard swamped in snow and the trees being weighed down by ❄️. We had a power outage last night, it’s all back now. Stay safe & warm local friends!!

X3 Original Oil Paintings Complete by @shabanakauserart

I love working in a series, check out the images with all 3 works completed paintings and images taken during the early stages of creation. You can also see the very dupatta I used as inspiration. Vibrant 🍊 was fun to capture!

Dupatta # 5 original oil painting by @shabanakauserart available at @the_art_collective_gallery

I love creating portraits that focus on certain parts of the body, and they don’t always capture the whole face. Yellow and gold dupatta (South Asian scarf), traditional South Asian jewelry, hair, lips, features all captured in this painting.

‘Hand Study’ ✋🏽original oil paintings all

‘Hand Study’ ✋🏽original oil paintings all complete and now ready to add hanging wire on the back of each one. I started all 7 of these together and worked on them simultaneously, I love this creating process! A production line means I can mix paints in one go, rotate between 2 pallets for most paintings, focus heavily on specifics (in this case hands), capture different compositions with the same props, and display as a series for future shows. It’s also gives collectors a choice within a series, and the chance to purchase one or a set.
Winter temps and creating in my warm, home studio, listening to motivational speeches & absorbing learning material as I create, rotating painting overalls (I have a collection now!) and working through a long list of exciting projects for next year ❤️

Music is by the Dhol Foundation, who focus on the Dhol (drum) and also Bhangra music. Bhangra music originates from from the Punjab and was initially inspired by folk music. The Punjab region is in India & Pakistan. Modern day music, especially in the UK, traditional bhangra is mixed into western sounds and enjoyed by many. I like this classic instrumental track and the Dhol (drum) beats. I hope you enjoy my oil paintings and the music. All artwork available, just message me!
