Khadija Brand

My name is Khadija and I am a textile artist. I make wearable art that is hand-painted using traditional textile techniques. My work varies on a broad spectrum from different textures to different color schemes. I believe that fabric is like a blank canvas in which you can create whatever you envision.

Pulling from my South Asian roots, I realized there was space for me to flourish as a textile, I realized that there was space for me to flourish as a textile artist in the US. To achieve my dreams, I started my own business with the idea that I wanted to introduce people to an ancient art form and revive the arts that are dying. I wanted to give a classic yet modern twist to textile arts. For some work, I collaborate with women artists in my home country, who if not supported, would not be able to pass on these arts to their future generations. Most of these women are from under served minority communities. I strive to support them and educate them to this centuries old art form.
