Farida Gallery

I'm a watercolour artist. I live in a lovely town called York, in North Yorkshire, United Kingdom with my husband and two children. My interest in art began since I was in high school. I was inspired by Disney's and Japanese animation. I enjoyed sketching, which then led me studying Architecture at university. In 2003, I started painting using acrylics paints and also try different media like oil paints, watercolour and pencils. I was still in search of media which suit me best. I fell in love with the lightness and the transparency of watercolour, which made me to stick with this media ever since. I am inspired by the beauty of nature, flowers, countryside and towns. Painting is my passion and it brings so much joy into my life, and I hope it will bring delight to yours as well.
