With an M.A. in Fine Arts, Lahore University, Tehzib Morad immigrated to Canada from her native Pakistan, 1979. Settling, Montreal, she and her husband, Omer, raised three children before Tehzib intensified her desire to work as a freelance artist and illustrator. Since her teenage years, Tehzib has carried out research in Asian art traditions. Incorporating age-old techniques to meet the needs of her own style, which uses vibrant colours associated with her Pakistan culture and the detailed simplicity of 16th century Persian and Mogul miniatures, she has genuinely applied this formula to her renderings of Canadian landscape, especially the cold winter scenes of Quebec. Tehzib’s snow is often pink or red, turquoise or yellow, generating feelings of warmth, cordiality, and affection evident in the colours associated with her heritage. Today, Tehzib’s niche is producing multicultural greeting cards for enthusiastic clients, mainly newer Canadians who seek out and discover her work for occasions such as Eid-al-Fitr, Diwali, or Christmas. Her silk-screen greeting cards, printed by hand, are in great demand. By winning prizes at local exhibitions and participating in a variety of community functions, her miniatures are gaining wider recognition, especially beyond Quebec where they have reaped praise at places such as Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto Convention Centre and the Sheraton Centre where her works have been exhibited. Revealing Tehzib’s Asian heritage is this unnamed miniature, typical of her Canadian winter landscapes. The quaint Quebec village in the background reflects her passion for the deep, rich colours ofthe Asian sub-continent. The mauve snow is reminiscent of silk colours worn by the Muslim women of Pakistan. The skaters garbed in exuberant colours recall the intense colours worn by women shopping at Pakistani bazaars half way round the world.  [Photo, courtesy Tehzib Morad]
