Contemporary Impasto Painter

 Textural and colourful oil paintings done with a palette knife.

Thoughtful still lifes of vibrant floral bouquets, East Anglian landscapes and naive style portraits.

Most still life paintings are painted from life in the artist's studio.  The landscapes are painted in the studio from sketches and photo references and in situ.  

Her new figurative works are inspired by her drawings, memories and dreams.

Halima is inspired by garden flowers, decorative vases, patterned cloth, lovely fruit and capturing the essence or feeling of home.
