Afshan Qadir: Inspired by Nature   

                                      
Herbert C. Young Community Center

Exhibition Dates:  November 9 – February 9, 2024 
Medium: Acrylic on canvas

I am extremely inspired by nature and the beauty it holds. To me, nature is God’s artwork - I just try to render it on my canvas.  I mainly work in acrylic, as I’ve found it to be an excellent medium for newer artists like myself.  I’ve been sketching and drawing since early childhood, but I seriously took up painting about 6 years ago, when my daughter left for college. As a single mother, painting helped me channel my emotions as my kids got older and began leaving the house one by one. I remember buying my first brush and canvas at Michael’s after I moved my eldest daughter into her dorm – I haven’t stopped painting since. Now, my daughter my two boys are my biggest source of support (and my biggest critics)! They encourage me to work hard keep improving with every piece. It’s through them that I feel a deep sense of joy in creating art.
