Being both an artist and art psychotherapist, I am interested in the healing capacity of art as well as its role in conveying meaning and communication with both the internal and external words. I draw inspiration for my paintings from my unconscious as it manifests in dreams and visions. I am inspired by esoteric sciences such as Kabbalah and quantum mechanics. My treatment of photography evokes that of painting and is highly experimental in nature. The shots are created with the use of self-made optical devices, which allow me to beguile the camera into shooting abstract images. In more than one way these instruments replace paint tubes and brushes.
Storybeyondlines was conceptualized by myself, aimed at bringing the traditional & spiritual art to the world. To promote art which not only brings joy to people, but also has soothing and transformative effects on ones’ energy, has been a key theme of Storybeyondlines.
A self-taught artist, I have had a deep inclination for art since childhood and have been creating artwork since more than a decade.
Over the years, I realized that I wanted to bring to the world the art that would make someone feel connected to his/her spiritual energy, and therefore my passion for the mandala art grew and I took to her calling to bring forward this artwork to a wider audience. With numerous workshops to my side, and many customized art-works created for my clients, I have been deeply rooted to expressing and bringing forward my art form across borders.

As a mixed media Artist the process of mono printing, painting and photo manipulation sustains Anum Hashmi’s studio practice. Mimicking the world she documents, on it’s ever changing journey as buildings, nature and people and their communities evolve and re-purpose. Collections of photographs, sketches and maps, take life in a diverse series of mixed media pieces, engaging in a meditative cycle of layering manipulating , rephotographing and then transforming into a digital mixed medium onto fabrics or unconventional materials. They’re layered to merge within its own time capsule in an attempt to capture nature, time, and changing spaces.
In the pursuit to beautify the mundane facades of everyday life, she addresses socio economical issues that displaces people along with their communities. As a british Pakistani, her fascination lies with the idea of preserving cultural traditions and practices from heritage ,migration and faith narratives, in particular the Indian sub continent from the eye of a second generation immigrant. Anum seeks to evoke and promote a sense of unity and ethnic enrichment when people of different faith and cultures interact and intertwine based on their social positions in society, whilst still giving a voice to the under represented and relay their stories.

Each piece is carefully crafted to capture the essence of the culture, emotions, and traditions that make Latin America so enchanting. These prints are perfect for those who appreciate the beauty in cultural expression, and wish to embrace it in their daily life.
Learning in my thirties that I'm autistic has resulted in a journey of reflection, re-evaluation and self love. I paint those who identify as women and non-binary in order to improve compassion towards my internal & external self, relearning a lifetime of neurotypical conditioning and the effects of capitalism on the way I view myself, and to see bodies as the work of art they are.
I create mixed media pieces, primarily using acrylics, and simple materials such as gel wax pens and oil pastels.

I am an artist passionate about many fields of art, but I mainly deal with oil painting and creating copper jewelry. My inspiration is nature, through the world of plants, animals and landscapes. In my works, I sometimes like to refer to impressionistic lights and colors, and sometimes I want to create decorative fairy-tale worlds. When creating jewelry, I am inspired by the raw patterns of primitive old cultures.

My commitment to sustainability encompasses every aspect of my life, from veganism to renewables, second-hand clothes, and not flying.
