    This is beautiful Shiva (@shiva_dress_designer ) w This is beautiful Shiva (@shiva_dress_designer ) who I met theough the @thesocialoutfit, one of the amazing sitters in Settled/Unsettled currently showing at the @magamnsw Shiva 2019 oil on linen, 180 x 180cm Shiva, originally from Iran, arrived in Australia with her husband in 2013. She does not wish to talk about the past. Since arriving in Australia Shiva started studying fashion technology at TAFE in late 2013. Her studies were interrupted by the birth of her beautiful son in 2015. Shiva's first employment was as a sewing technician with The Social Outfit. From there, she went on to teaching sewing classes in Western Sydney to women of new migrant and refugee backgrounds. Shiva is very ambitious and courageous. She always comes up with ideas and dreams big. Now that she has finally completed her studies at TAFE and done some work experience, Shiva believes she has gained enough knowledge to open her own business. Shiva aspires to be a fashion entrepreneur and create jobs for talented women who might face barriers to employment but want to become independent and confident. She wants to support mothers who spend their whole lives caring for their families but are left with little to do once their children grow up. She believes that keeping busy making beautiful designs makes people happy. Shiva is grateful to Australia for accepting her into this paradise. #settledunsettled #manlyartgalleryandmuseum #kathrinlonghurst #womensstories #refugees #strongwomen #portraitpainting #portraitsofwomen

    This was the first work created for a series of pa This was the first work created for a series of paintings of extraordinary refugee and migrant women currently showing at @magamnsw Mariama 2019 oil on linen, 180 x 180cm Mariama came to Australia during the 2018 Commonwealth Games representing Sierra Leone in Wrestling. Like many of her fellow countrymen she defected and is currently waiting for asylum in Australia. Her infectious, enthusiastic personality makes everyone fall in love with her. Whilst sleeping on the floor of a relative’s house waiting for accommodation, she started volunteering for the Salvation Army with heavy physical tasks such as loading and unloading trucks full of donations. She was soon offered traineeships and part time work. Mariama still volunteers at the Salvation Army on her days off. She has taken advantage of the opportunities in Australia to improve her skills and is now working as a disability support worker and other casual jobs. Mariama’s dream is to settle in Australia and bring her 16 year old son to live here because “everything is good in Australia”. #settledunsettled #manlyartgallery #portraitpainting #womensstories #extraordinarywomen #figurativepainting #narrativepainting #refugees

    Repost from @magamnsw Today, we’re recognising Repost from @magamnsw Today, we’re recognising World Refugee Day with this portrait of Nazanin by artist Kathrin Longhurst. Nazanin (Naz) came to Australia with her mother and younger brother in 2013 as refugees from Persia. She still carries the traumas of her experience: “Sometimes I scream loud while I’m in silence. Sometimes I feel numb cause carrying all these traumas are so painful that I can’t handle it anymore." Originally studying dentistry in Persia, Naz is now an entrepreneur and designer and has started her own brand. “Life taught me how unpredictable it can be so I want to follow things that give me joy in life, and I can share that with the community." Despite the challenges she has and continues to face, Naz hopes to create a world-renowned fashion business that will employ other marginalised women. See her portrait alongside other works exploring conflict and exile, home and belonging in our upcoming exhibition, SETTLED/UNSETTLED, 24 June – 31 July 2022.
