Sakinah Parker is a 32-year-old mom of 3 with a passion for art. She has obtained her tertiary education in Surface Design and Technology at CPUT in 2009 and since then she has been painting as a hobby, until she found a love for calligraphy during her studies at the Qamar Institute. She then shifted her focus from abstract art to Islamic Art. Her style has evolved over the years toward acrylic pouring, Dutch pouring and resin. She has gained widespread interest in her art work, and thereby expanded her client base locally, nationally and internationally.
