About Me

Hi, I'M Aysha Akhtar

Welcome! I am a contemporary artist, living outside of Washington DC. By day, I am a physician (neurologist and public health specialist), veteran, CEO of the Center for Contemporary Sciences, etc.

I recently emerged as an artist. Self-taught in art, I view my artwork as complementary to my medical background. In medicine, I have learned that a combination of technical skill and emotional empathy are both required to heal. Likewise, in my artistic endeavors, I have honed the skill of visual arts through years of self-practice and education, but the skill is complemented by a deep emotional connection with the subject matters, which I hope to convey to the observer.

I use a variety of mediums and techniques --never wanting my art to become repetitive. But I tend to approach all my art with a bit of raw wildness. I especially enjoy mixing different techniques and mediums on the same paintings to keep them dynamic and unexpected.

I just emerged as a professional artist in 2021.
