United States, 1974
Born in Pakistan and currently based in Washington, D.C., Sariah is a contemporary fine artist whose practice is deeply rooted in global transit, memory, and atmospheric landscape abstraction. Working under the singular moniker, she holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the prestigious Corcoran School of the Arts and Design, where she attended on a merit-based academic scholarship and was named to the Dean’s List of Honor.
After a period dedicated to motherhood and supporting her son’s high-performance athletic career, Sariah experienced a profound creative reclamation. Witnessing the fierce discipline, passion, and resilience required by elite sports, she recognized a parallel demand within her own creative calling—realizing that to truly lead by example, she must apply that same uncompromising dedication to her studio practice.
Drawing continuous inspiration from her extensive travels across the globe, Sariah’s work absorbs the fluid transitions of the upper atmosphere, the open oceans, and shifting celestial light. Her canvases translate the grand scale of the natural world into intimate, subjective color fields. While the objective splendor of the terrain belongs to nature, the final, transcendent perspective is entirely her own.
