I graduated in fine arts from the National College of Arts Lahore, Pakistan in 1993 along with MA fine arts from the University of East London, the UK in 2003. At present, my professional status is an interdependent relationship among practice as a pedagogue, artist, curator, and writer.

Since graduation, I am busy with my creative practice and have done nine solo shows along with many group participation in Pakistan and UK. In my creative practice, I am not only the painter of canvas and paper but also have experimented on various surfaces. My subjects are mundane and I operate them in a broad range of styles, supported by intense technical skill. I don’t produce classical literal artwork rather present intuitive marks in the poetic gaze.

I have published papers and art reviews in various local as well as international newspapers, periodicals, and research journals. My curatorial practice is largely DIY curating and each of the curatorial projects conjured up a critical framework for contemporary/current critical discourse in the works of Pakistani artists. I have been curating art since 2010 and till now have curated 11 Projects. I also established my own art gallery ‘drawing studio’ in Lahore and that project was concluded in 2014.

Presently I am working as an assistant professor at COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus Dept. of Architecture & Design.
