About
Shela Qamer was born in Pakistan and studied art under Ali Imam in Karachi. When she emigrated to the U.S., Shela decided to further her education in art by enrolling at Washington’s Corcoran School of Art. In an interview with USINFO, Shela stated that she tries to “maintain some sort of balance and rhythm in my [her] paintings through the use of different colors, textures, materials, and lines.” She experiments with different kinds of paintings varying from images of the earth, Arabic calligraphy, architectural images, as well as trying out abstract paintings. In her Artist’s Statement, Shela claims that one of her objectives as an artist is to create “unique and vibrant pieces of art work that everyone can enjoy and use to further enhance their environment.”
Recently, over the past 2 years, Shela has used her art to help raise money in charity fundraising events that are typically organized by various non-profit organizations.
