Hi, I’m Rehana, a Sydney based watercolour artist, a former STEM nerd and a big fan of life’s quiet moments. I was born and raised in Sydney, Australia, but my roots stretch back to East Africa and India.

For most of my life, painting was something I squeezed in around work and family – until cancer and becoming a full time carer not so gently pressed pause on everything. That’s when I picked up my brushes again and started really looking at the world around me.

These days, I paint what the kids bring me – fallen leaves, broken seed pods, half crushed gumnuts – all the little treasures that usually go unnoticed. I try to capture the way children see the world: full of wonder, curiosity and magic hiding in the everyday.

My hope is that my art can also help you slow down and find joy in the ordinary.
