Timeline

Gazala was leading a challenging career path for 25 years in Corporate America long before her artworks had started to garner accolades from the international art community. Wife, and mother of two daughters, Gazala has a natural talent to draw and paint. She first showed proclivity for art as a young girl and pursued this interest as a hobby for 29 years.

While continuing her corporate management career, Gazala enrolled in the School of Visual Arts Continuing Education program, and studied the works of the Twentieth Century Western Impressionist's and Contemporary Masters. Gazala was able to undertake commissions for a series of private collectors for 15 years. Later she was to join the renowned Parsons School in New York, when her own original works started to reflect the techniques and textures of the Masters she had studied, and they soon replaced the Master Reproductions she had been painting.

An emerging artist, Gazala is fast gaining her reputation by rendering images in oil on canvas captured from her extensive travels in Europe the USA and India. Her works portrayed the landscape impact of Spain and Italy. She expanded her repertoire to include abstracts and figurative abstracts maintaining her focus to stay true to the styles of the Western Impressionists.

Gazala had her first solo show ‘New horizons in contemporary art’ for one month in May 2006 in New York, where The Arch a not-for-profit organization, showcased her works as part of an ongoing cultural promotions program. The next was a group showing in March 2007 at the London Form Olympia’s International Art Exhibition. Her most recent solo ‘Gazala’ was in April 2007 in London, at the 22 years established Lucy B. Campbell fine arts gallery, who picked her up late last year on her visit to the gallery.

Gazala’s upcoming show is in October 2007 at the renowned Crimson Art Gallery in Bangalore India who selected her from her website. Gazala has been invited by the Internal Committee of the International Biennial of Contemporary Art, to participate in the sixth edition of the exhibition, ‘Dialogue between civilizations’, which will take place in December 2007 in the historical Fortezza da Basso in Florence, Italy.
