Following the completion of her graphic design degree at Leeds Metropolitan University, Shazia embarked on a journey of self-discovery. On her travels, she drew using only pen and paper - something she says helped her to produce her most honest sketches to date.
Upon returning to the UK, Shazia worked as a designer before going freelance and starting a family. She is now a full-time artist and is known for her innocent artworks, which are created using travel diaries, people-watching and her own imagination.

The artist
Shazia
Shazia began her career in a greetings card company, then went freelance and started a family. She is now a full-time artist, famed for her perceptive paintings of children and young people. The bright and cheerful colours she uses in them are inspired by her travels in South America, where she took a trip after university with her now-husband Ian. 'We'd gone to Mexico and I was at Frida Kahlo's house where everything is really bright; there's nothing that's not colourful. I think I try to bring that into my work, with the children with red hair and bright, stripy t-shirts and things like that.'
