Drawing with a Local Art Museum || ART TIME LAPSE || Fort Smith Regional Art Museum's RAMSketch YouTube video by Angela Cross

Here is ye olde quarantine art. The local art museum would have weekly zoom art workshops. As an introvert I cannot deny that I miss those days a bit. I just want to stay home and do art and teach my dog how to talk. 🎨🐕

The Pakistani heritage of British-born, U.S.-based artist Shabana Kauser’s "Dupatta" series centers the everyday elegance of South Asian women, translating fabric, craft, and memory into contemporary portraiture. Working from real garments and jewelry, she sources and stages herself, the artist builds skin and textile textures in meticulous layers of oil, then accents threads and sequins with needle-fine brushwork. The dupatta (दुपट्टा) scarf is ubiquitous across South Asia and signals heritage, celebration, and belonging; here it becomes a luminous halo that dignifies an anonymous sitter rather than exoticizing her. A beautiful South Asian woman is shown in serene right-profile against a calm teal field. A sheer sky-blue dupatta, netted and edged with gold zari, drapes over her dark hair and shoulders, its surface crowded with embroidered floral sprays and tiny sequins catching soft light. A teardrop maang-tikka head ornament, enameled in blue and gold, rests at her hairline while a filigree necklace glints at her collarbone above a white blouse. Her medium-brown skin is modeled in layered oils and her closed lips are a deep rose. The veil’s scalloped border frames her face, guiding our eyes to her quiet, self-possessed gaze. In 2022 Kauser presented her first solo museum exhibition at the Fort Smith Regional Art Museum, where works from the series (including Dupatta #10) connected immigrant stories across Arkansas audiences. British-born and now based in Northwest Arkansas, Kauser often describes her practice as a dialogue between her parents’ textile world and her own immigrant journey: portraiture that invites viewers “to examine each thread, its imperfections and uniqueness,” and to recognize the women whose beauty and labor sustain community.
