I think her <a href=\"http:\/\/nazrahbar.com\/portraits\">portrait series<\/a> are pretty interesting \u2013\u00a0she paints the people she meets from memory instead of taking a snapshot, and takes it as a challenge to see how well she can recall their faces.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Tell me a little more about yourself.<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nI live in Toronto Canada, and most of the year I wish I lived somewhere warm. I would like to experience living in different parts of the world. I find different landscapes and people inspiring. I wish I could just travel and fill up sketchbooks and travel logs!<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Your website shows various printmaking works \u2013 which ones are your favorite, and why?<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nI like different printmaking techniques for their unique qualities and limitation. I love Lithography and wish I could learn and practice more of it. Unfortunately I don\u2019t have access to a Litho press and studio right now. I guess can\u2019t really choose a favorite. I am happier with the silk screens I have done. <\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Does your style and work seek to communicate a particular message?<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nNo way, or at least not one that is clear to myself at this time. I guess I\u2019m more interested in fiction, or stories, or vignettes or mainly with the idea of documenting or recording a moment, a feeling, a face, a person, or a sort of something I feel possessed to draw.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Who would be your dream client \/ Who would you love to work for?<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nUltimately I guess it would be to work for myself! I have been thinking of a sort of graphic novel. It would be great to have a book published. One that speaks to people of kind and ages would be ideal.  <\/p>\n<p>You can see more of Naz&#8217;s work on her <a href=\"http:\/\/nazrahbar.com\/\">website<\/a> and also purchase original prints from her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/nazrahbar\">Etsy shop<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> &#8230; <a title=\"Naz Rahbar\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/2011\/08\/18\/naz-rahbar\/\" aria-label=\"More on Naz Rahbar\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":36819,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_generate-full-width-content":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1944"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1944"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1944\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31607,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1944\/revisions\/31607"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1944"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1944"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1944"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
