do something has always come from Valley Kashmir"

As per Safiya Mehraj, drawing is a healing process during lockdown imposed due to COVID, which
heal the struggles. She "believe we are never lost. Life has ups and downs but healing takes lot of
time."
The artist believes that drawing is a constant process & scribbling thoughts and their turn out in the
end is just another feeling.
She further said that she's grateful to her parents who gave her "ample support and everything that
eyes fell upon."
"They have always been supportive and continue to appreciate my efforts," she added.
Besides that, she does all the artistic stuff that makes her happy. "I try to paint my own imagination.
I draw portraits (traditional/digital), calligraphy (Arabic/English/urdu). I also make graphic designs,
book covers, logos etc. Time management is a big hurdle today and we all are suffering from
procastination. I try make sure I do things on time and that makes me super happy," she concluded
