Growing up in The Woodlands area, I am a proud Texan. I find joy in expressing the beauty of nature and creation through my abstract impressionist floral art. My hope is that each brushstroke brings vibrant life to every environment. I’m happily married to my best friend, Jon, and together, we share a beautiful life with our two amazing children and a cherished granddaughter.
My passion for creative arts ignited at the age of 4, and it has remained unwavering over the years. Although my career in visual management took various forms, my heart persistently whispered, ‘It’s time for change. A pivotal moment of growth, healing, and revelation led me to embrace my true calling as an artist. In recent years, I’ve rekindled my love for painting, delighting in transforming blank white canvases into blossoming florals.
BEHIND THE ART
Why do I paint Flowers? I love the natural free spirit of a flower & how it is in nature, their ability to thrive anywhere, under any circumstances, while exuding exquisite beauty. In my paintings, I aim to convey the essence of growth and freedom that they symbolize. My hope is that viewers of my art feel this freedom.
As I create my floral paintings, I draw inspiration from the various stages of a flower’s growth transformation. From the vivid and fresh hues during blossoming to the gradual shift toward deep & rich colors as they gracefully fade. Using acrylic paint as my preferred medium, I layer colors and apply spontaneous brushstrokes to capture the essence of these beautiful moments.
I paint to celebrate childhood dreams and honor the profound journey of healing and growing. My art is in inspired by the divine feminine and the beauty of nature and dance because when I am present with Mother Earth and moving to music, I feel incredibly alive. The process of layering colors down on a blank surface helps me flow with my emotions and connect with humanity. I offer you my creations as a gift, with love from one goddess to another.
Fatima Khambati, a self-taught artist from Houston, has been captivated by art for as long as she can remember. Over time, her creative journey led her to explore various media, eventually discovering a love for watercolors. “I appreciate the medium’s loose qualities and natural luminosity on white paper,” she says, noting that its unpredictable results make each piece unique. Inspired by nature—especially wildlife and flowers—Fatima strives to capture their essence in her work.
She markets and sells her original artwork on Instagram and Etsy, while also participating in local markets where art lovers can experience her pieces up close. Each of her artworks is one-of-a-kind, and she also offers high-quality Giclee prints, made with archival inks and acid-free papers.
