Fatima is a process-based artist who works in multiple media including, yet not limited to painting, drawing and photography, with a focus on the idea of how elements can evolve to create new narratives and meaning. Her practice is strongly inspired by the relationship between physical and metaphysical energy which she explores through process and materiality.

Fatima currently lives and works in Johannesburg with a studio based at The Bag Factory.
