Artist in the Spotlight

Zainab Haider resides in Northern Virginia and has been a member of BozART since 2006. Her works include oil and acrylic paintings in abstract or realistic depictions, though her favorite medium remains to be acrylics.

She finds inspiration in the world around her and her works often symbolize scenes from daily life, social commentary, or represent depictions of the human mind and emotion. Zainab finds meaning and joy in being able to mix colors and work her brush to create reality from imagination. She particularly enjoys creating abstract paintings as she finds that abstraction provides a unique freedom for expressing thoughts and ideas, and provides the audience with the freedom of interpretation.

Zainab has displayed her work in solo and group shows at various galleries across Virginia over the years, including BozART, La Galleria, and McGuffey Art Center in Charlottesville and several galleries in Northern Virginia.
