The journey that lead me to creating my own art starts with a 20 year long relationship with advertising. Working across advertising & marketing agencies I’ve always felt that I needed to pursue a deeper purpose other than creating work for clients.
I am a proud Muslim South African and was born and bred in Cape Town. My fascination with art started when I was mesmerized by the interior dome of Masjidul Quds in Gatesville Cape Town.
