BIOGRAPHY

In 2008, Naseema Lehree matriculated from Lincoln Heights Secondary School in Newcastle, KZN, graduating with a BPharm degree from North-West University in 2012. Her background in pharmaceuticals has fuelled many of her previous works. She has used medicines to comment on the covid pandemic and her aunt’s death to cancer. Although medicine was her initial source of inspiration, her current work includes acrylic paintings and digitised images. Pharmacy stimulates her logic while art provides the creative outlet. Naseema Lehree works in a mother-and-child hospital, so the killing of Palestinian children further motivates her work.

This catalogue accompanies the art exhibition for her Bachelor of Visual Arts Honours year at the Unisa Art Gallery in Pretoria.
