Tina Aziz-Siddiqui

Born and raised in Pakistan, I travelled within the country and overseas with my diplomat father.Trained as a Graphic Designer, my artistic journey has been that of an explorer. Working in a variety of mediums, collage and pastels are the medium of preference. Often enjoying an "explosion" of colours, I find working with a limited palette equally thrilling. Light cascading over forms, natural or manmade, is the driving force that compels me to paint as I strives to capture a specific moment in time.
Since 1976 I have exhibited in group and solo shows in United Kingdom, USA, Canada, Pakistan and Dubai and awarded for portraiture and abstract paintings, namely 2003 Open International Portrait Competition in Toronto.
In 2004 I moved to Kelowna after a 13 year stay in Dubai. As an art educator for over 25 years, I was honoured to be the recipient for the Art Educator Award for the Okanagan Arts Awards 2009. Teaching for me is exciting as I find joy in my students' journey for self expression and I firmly believes it enriches me as an artist. Currently teaching a variety of classes in Kelowna, West Kelowna and Vernon.
