Reema's distinctive mark is seen in her ability to lay down "multi-layered coats of vibrant paint spread over a canvas with vigorous and bold brushstrokes. Reema’s entire body of work addresses taboo and controversial issues related to fundamental human experiences such as birth, death, and aspects of consciousness. Primarily influenced by the painters like Rembrandt and Monet helped place her work in direct conflict with the abstraction and conceptual art. Some of her favorite artists include works from Saya Woolfalk and Georgia O’Keeffe as well as work from a broad range of Canadian photographers. Motivated and inspired by therapeutic art classes she facilitated at Ontario Shores of Mental Health in Whitby, Ontario, and Welcome Immigrant Center in Ajax Ontario, She quickly developed a deep passion for modalities of art therapies used for healing trauma, depression, PTSD, Dementia and many more. Reema’s art is one of disclosure, using her life events as inspiration for works ranging from painting, drawing, photography, and sculpture. Reema reveals her hopes, humiliations, failures, and successes in candid and, at times, excoriating work that is frequently both tragic and humorous.
She is devoted to the integrative field of Energy Medicine, treating a multitude of chronic and acute conditions. She is a philosopher at heart assisting individuals to heal on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels. She has a passion for the arts, and actively supports local arts and community organisations in Durham Ontario region, having served as a Board member for an independent theater company Ajax Community Theater and a local art gallery Station Gallery in Whitby, Ontario and Non-profit Girls Inc Durham.
