My artist saying: Its better to live, living up to a dream, than die not living the dream!
Be good to yourself, be kind to yourself, treat people, how you would like to be treated yourself. Never judge a book by its cover, as even the look on not so interesting books, will reveal something you did not know just like us humans.

Knowlegde is all time power to everything, not money, money is just one big circulation of paper, knowledge is something no one can take from you, once gained. Be grateful for even the smallest things in life, as you may not trully become happy when you get the big things in life. Be true to yourself and true to others, respect people, know matter who they are or what colour they are, as one, only gains respect through giving respect. Give Love through the heart and recieve love straight to the heart, dont be fooled when the heart aches, its only being kind to you by letting you know we need to change our emotions, no one can hurt us, we are totally in control of our own feelings. Learn to love no matter what, it really is better to love than hate everything around you. shaida parveen

CV Profile: Born in Pakistan, brought up in England, i love both of these countries, one is back from my roots, the other is my home.
I knew from a very young age the intense passion i had for art from my creative abilities.

I attended art colleges to universities just to add those extra techniques to my talent.

I finished with a graphic design degree, as to make myself commercial with a earning, but then truly realised, that money did not really mean everything to me.

If I could'nt follow my heart and soul purpose in life, what was the point of me doing something just for a good income.

I did however enjoy my career as a graphic designer and have no regrets, the good was, it prepared me for all the things i need to do as a succesful artist today, the bad for me was, I did not enjoy the intense computer work that went with it and the little creative freedom I had with it, due to deadlines!

I soon chose to free my spirits and creative mind by travelling around the world, just to capture all the true beauty, the colours, culture and life of everything around the globe, that i could inject later on into my art work. Travelling around the world made me appreciate who i am and what i have, and how fortunate i trully am than others.

My goal in life now is, as an artist to think about others, share my talent, and use my talent to make a difference to those lives who don't even have water to quench their thirst nevermind have any kind of opportunity to show any of their hidden talents!

So I believe I am here on this earth for purpose.
A purpose to make a difference. I want to pour all my energy into what I love and have a huge goal and purpose behind being a artist.

I intend to raise funds through my art work to get fully functioning water taps to all the poor countries where needed, they have pipes underground, but no money to get taps connected, that would give them a constant supply of fresh drinking water.

Without water in this world, nothing would survive, not man, not nature, not land, i feel for those who haven't even got the simpliest things in life, things survive just a little longer without food, but without water, what is there left, nothing, I have the talent in my hands, so i am going to use it with love to help others, then I am a trully happy artist with a soulful purpose in life.
