Hook Drawing

Nasim’s passion to to transform a captured moment in time into an expressive painting. This transition of photographic image to painting, converts a precious moment into an authentic & unique work of art that is the closest to subject's heart. Whether the painting is of a dancer, a child or a concerned father, the images reveals a true moment in the life of the subject. A precious moment when we don't pose for a picture, or put on a smile for the camera to cover up our fears...a moment that for the most part passes by and is either forgotten or wiped out. These are the moments when our soul disconnects from the outside illusions to connect with the inside reality...a moment of quiet contemplation. Her intention is to not to recreate the moment, but allow it to flow into an art form that is alive and expressive. Nasim’s work includes watercolors, pastels, charcoal on paper and acrylic on canvass. In April 2014, her first exhibit was at a curated art exhibit at A.R.T. Market on Roosevelt Row, Phoenix, AZ. Nasim’s background in marketing has provided the opportunity to combine art and marketing creating graphic and web design for businesses and non-profit organizations. She sits on the board of Action for Afghan Women (AFAW). She was involved in creating the logo and web design representing their mission to empower women of Afghanistan through culturally sensitive educational opportunities. She is also a Yoga Alliance certified Yoga Instructor and currently teaches yoga privately and at a local studio in Aspen.
