Sultana Begum
The Artist
Sultana’s artworks begin as collaborative process. She selects images from books to draw from and then directs a willing participant to draw faint outlines on the paper. Then the collaboration ends and she proceeds to add colour, pattern and text, bringing it to life and making it undoubtedly ‘a Sultana.’
She is a prolific artist; her sketchbooks resemble visual encyclopaedias. Birds are her passion and form the main subject of her work. Some species feature more than others – robins, parakeets, golden orioles. Occasionally you may find a cat (or tiger) amongst the pigeons.
