Hello
Hi! Im Kanwal, a self-taught watercolor and ink artist, mom of three, home educator and an ametuer history buff who loves to explore architecture, culture, and the spaces around us.

Through these collections, I aim to share the moments that inspire me and the stories that these spaces hold.

Today, that curiosity continues in my watercolor and ink work. My studies explore architecture and culture, capturing patterns, forms, and details that draw my attention. Sparked from a desire to see both the ordinary and the overlooked
