Mariam Qureshi is a multidisciplinary artist based in Edmonton, Canada. Her richly textured oil paintings—crafted with high-quality, lightfast pigments—bring depth, movement, and calm to natural interiors. Influenced by biophilic design and environmental themes, her work pairs seamlessly with handcrafted furniture and organic architecture.
Her paintings have been exhibited internationally, including at the Louvre (Salon d’Art International) and in solo shows across Europe and North America, and are held in private and public collections. Inspired by natural landscapes, Qureshi seeks to offer a sense of stillness and a deeper connection to the outdoors.
Blending layered colour, expressive marks, and a tactile surface, her process results in works full of energy and intention. Committed to nature and ecology, she serves as a repeated artist-in-residence at Edmonton’s Botanical Gardens and shares her passion through teaching art to students of all ages.
