   Raza Sahab,
   Thank you for sharing talents from world artists. I really like the painting of the woman above. Is the Artist selling?

   This is lovely. I like the hand painting and the colours are lovely. I also see the hand is covering the eye? Very interesting.

   The portrait of the woman is painted smoothly. I like the finish because it leaves a very sweet and smooth effect. I’m a painter myself. Like the way Shaheen Sultan Dhanji has covered the face and not have a ‘tag’ attached to the face. Beauty lies in so many ways and looking at this figurative it shows so much.

   Second, the hand is covering a life. Thats what the painting means to me. Artist has (my perception) intricately woven LIFE into this hand and it’s really pleading the way to some far path. Liked it very much. Mentioned above that Sultan does photography, would want to see those some time.

   Regards from Qattar

   Shaheen, it is a pleasure to know you. Good to see Ismaili artist emerging in society and leaving a trail of good. You’re an intelligent young woman and I’m proud of our Ismaili heritage and knowing another artist. Please contact me when you get a moment and I wish you lots of great success in your endeavours.

    Shaheen Sultan Dhanji, very good to see your art & I really like this site. I feel like I’m really in Pakistan after going thru the site. Good job Jahane Rumi.

    Above commentor, Abu Sadik, it’s true Shaheen is lovely and intelligent and I know her really well to say she’s also a music lover and strong views on socialism.

    Jahane Rumi, accept my best wishes.

    Dear friends,

    I am grateful to all for appreciating my art, and for much encouragement to keep exploring and creating art.

    But…Raza… much thanks to you, for this beautiful platform -Jahane Rumi; it is here where I feel most at “home”-an abode of completeness, especially when the West feels a bit cold.

    Cheers,
    Shaheen

    Good to see Shaheen’s work. However, the review lacks about the charismatic personality of the artist. What is the “A’s in between para’s?

    Your site is lovely Mr.Rumi.

    Way to go Shaheen Sultan Dhanji. Met her at the concert last week and what a beautiful personality and very knowledgeable. women like Shaheen are important in society to learn from and as inspiration. Here is a woman with so many talents and passionate to make a vast difference! Even her art has many questions of global issues and she dialogues very well. Am proud to know a beautiful woman Shaheen. May God keep bestowing her with success. She is shy of accepting compliments!!

    Jahane Rumi, it is my first time on site here and what amazing library you have given us all. God bless you.

    Regards,

    You’re a good role model for the younger generations and may you succeed at your goals.

    This is a great site. Will visit again

    Lovely site.

    Just met Shaheen Sultan, what a lovely woman, full of knowledge and pleasant to talk to. Although the review above should be longer and detailed about her life and talent. It’s too short and only sheds light on little areas.

    Jahane Rumi, thanks for sharing this and I will return to the blog soon as tomorrow.

    Nice art, Shaheen. I really enjoyed hearing you at International womans Day function. Your positive energy is still lingering in my mind and feel very moved. After loosing my only sister to leukemia years ago and penniless, but hard work and determination has seen me through it all. It is great to see such a woman with so much to offer the world in arts and knowledge. Shaheen, may the Creator bless you with all your aspirations. Very lovely to have met you and know of your artistic qualities.
    Next womans day you must come to Maldives.

    Canada was a good host.

    I came across this site after looking into the many works of Shaheen Sultan Dhanji and I find this site very moving and warm wishes to Jahane Rumi.

    This is a good review but a detailed biographical review would help to know art and personality a bit more.
    I agree with the above commentor, Jahane Rumi’s blogs are very good.

    Shaheen Sultan Dhanji’s art is very powerful. I had the good pleasure to meet her at the Epiphany group exhibition and she is one of the artists to display her art. Her detailed work in abstractism is appealing. It was very surprising to learn that she has never had an art teacher; very talented woman. I find her to be politically conversant and literary engaging. My wife really loved the sari the artist was wearing. South Asians sure are graceful! Best luck,
