Personal Work

Farida was a delight to work with, unfailingly conscientious, she always met her deadlines and was very open and receptive to any comments and suggestions we had. She infused the book with creativity and joy on every page, and her characters pop off the page and draw the reader in to the story in a unique and creative way. Farida's enthusiasm and passion make her a wonderful artist to work with.

Farida's a hard worker who is extremely professional, always meets deadlines, and puts tons of thought and energy into her work. Owlkids Books is delighted to have two more picture books written and illustrated by Farida coming out in Spring 2026 and Fall 2026.

Jennifer Stokes, Editorial Director, Owlkids Books
We contracted Farida for several design projects at our store and e-commerce for Kandl Artistique and they turned out wonderfully! We love her free flowing and organic aesthetic that really appeals to our audience of mainly females. She is professional and a pleasure to work with. I look forward to working with her on future projects.

It was such a pleasure working with Farida on my book, 'The Art of Organizing.’ Farida captured exactly what we wanted for 80+ illustrations and we couldn’t be happier with the final art! She is so talented and easy to work with. From start to finish she was well organized, communicated frequently and met our deadlines. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Nicole Gabai, Author, Artist & Professional organizer
Farida is one of the artists who created beautiful digital artwork as part of STEPS Public Art’s BMO National Mural Series in 2022. She incorporated the client’s feedback promptly and ensured the artwork reflected the theme of community and diversity. It was a pleasure working with Farida throughout this process. The digitally printed artwork can now be seen on the exterior windows of Bank of Montreal’s Major Mackenzie & Melville branch in Vaughn, ON and is enjoyed by the community.

Praneti Kulkarni, Agency Manager
In addition to Farida being a talented artist who creates delightful illustrations, she is professional, dependable and takes direction well. Farida also brings her own knowledge and life experience to her work. We’ve collaborated on multiple illustration projects for different media outlets with positive results. She is a pleasure to work with.
