]]> Pakistani artist Zahra Ammar, who lives and works in California, creates various colorful things using paper. Her favorites are flowers and various abstract shapes that often include every color of the rainbow. She shows strong attention to detail and she has the talent to present stunning layouts. Her work has been exhibited in many galleries around the world and it has brought her thousands of fans. 

“The versatility of paper as a medium fascinates me as I poke and pinch it, twirl and curl, and fold and mold it to create art. It is so forgiving, yet it can do things that even paint can’t,” she tells Jeff Musser. She’s self-taught and got where she is today through experimenting. Her work includes a mixture of quilling, modular origami, and kirigami, styles that perfectly blend together to achieve the effects she imagines.

I often get asked about why Spring Delusions? What does that even mean? It was actually my sister who came up with this after proofreading some of my poems a few years ago. This translated into my first solo exhibition. Chaotic despair along with blooming hope. Spring is magic, rejuvenation but also cruel. It brings back bittersweet memories of things that will never be. Yet, it pushes away the withering old to make room for the new. It forces us to open that tightly closed palm that holds soil and dirt, so that the seed can sprout. . . . . . #quilling #quillingart #quilledpaperart #paperart #zahraammar #springdelusions #ArtofTheDaySac #sacramentoart #typography #cansonmiteintes #quillingflowers #illustration #paperillustration #quilledflowers #quilledtypography #paperflowers #madefrompaper #papercraft #lettering #lgenpaper #makersgonnamake #floralart #36daysoftype #papertypography #contemporaryquilling #Sacramentoartist

Photoshooting right now and fresh off the camera roll are these magnolias. . I often get ask what kind of paintings I make when I say I am an artist to people who don't 😍 know my work. I say, 'I dont really paint… I work with paper most of the time'. The look I get is often priceless.😂 It is quizzical and goes down a road to further inquiry that may devolve into many angles. I figured out that the best way to tell someone is just show them my insta feed or phone gallery. That really turns the tables and attention. I have yet to verbalize eloquently what I do. It's hard to get the words aligned without sounding like a complete idiot 🙈 I am still figuring this all out. . . . . . . #quilling #quillingart #quilledpaperart #paperart #zahraammar #sacramentoart #quillingflowers #illustration #paperillustration #madefrompaper #pinkmagnolia #hospitalityart #makersgonnamake #magnolia #floralarthub #Sacramentoartist
