The Artist
Neelam is the mixed-media visual artist behind Art is a Verb. As a South Asian woman, child of immigrants, Alberta-born, current Montréal-er, her work explores the places and identities she’s lived, a focus on hearth and home, a constant reverence for nature and its cycles, and a commitment to a “feminine is not frail” message. Neelam mixes historically domestic mediums like embroidery with dried flowers, watercolour, calligraphy, painting, drawing, collage, and more. Her art invites people to nest in their homes and transform their spaces into sanctuaries with her unique, grandma-chic, slow art.
Art is a Verb offers a variety of artworks, below is a small taste...
