Author and Illustrator: New Book Scheduled for 2014: "What's Wrong Sunflower?"

 

"What's Wrong Sunflower?"

 

Is a book that supports young children in developing empathy, self esteem and a review of science through nature's seasons. The book is designed to meet children ages 2-5 but can be enjoyable to anyone reading it.

 

How many times in life has it been raining on your head? In the sense of going through difficult times!  Well sometimes children experience this difficulty too especially because they don't have the same knowledge base of adults.

 

In this story sunflower takes a journey after getting advice from her friend "Rose".  She tells her to pick up her roots and go. This takes "Sunflower on a journey through all the seasons of the year. During her travels she experiences heavy winds of the fall, the chill of the winter and the down pour of the spring until she reaches the sunny summer. She then stumbles into another friend that provides her with some much needed insight.

"That it doesn't always rain silly!" We all know this is true, that hard times to do not always last.

 

 

If you would like to know more about the publication process of this book or donate funds to help further bring this into fruition please feel free to contact me.

 

The painting above is a 16x20 and is available for sale. It's a limited edition painting that is a representation of the upcoming book. If you would like to see other paintings from the book please contact me. 

 

Peace and Love

Bridging The Gaps!!!

Peace Family,

This past weekend August 10 and 11 was the "3rd Annual Bridging the Gaps" concert at Salem Willows!!! The weather and the atmosphere was right. There was stupendous, exceptional multifaceted artist from various genres of music hip hop, old soul and r&b. Did I mention it was out doors and live?  Oh yes the DJs were incredible too A+ for a job well done! What brought me there was my artistry facepainting for the children. The children and parents were pleased!

I look forward to next years event and can't wait to add on in anyway possible. 

Much love and respect to WreckShop Movement  and the good Brother Justice Born!

If your in need of a face painter for an upcoming party or community day please contact me zahirahnurtruth@me.com

Claiming what's yours...

Peace Everybody,

Thanks for stopping by my website and supporting my events! I am truly blessed by all those that contribute in their own way to the life of “DaArtistZNT”.

So its official I  now currently have two art teaching gigs. One teaching gig is for a local community center in Roxbury in which I will be mainly responsible for over 300 hundred children artistically. My other jewel is that of the “The Eliot School” in historic Jamaica Plain Centre Street area.  I will be teaching there on Monday mornings to 2 year old children and their parents starting September 20^th.

If you’re interested in participating in the class please visit our website.

Today is a very special day for me… Why you might ask because I simply said so! And it’s with in that moment of claiming what’s rightfully yours is when change takes place.

You may not know me as a person or even know my story b.u.t. I will that you get to know me as an artist!

I am here to share in reciprocity with those that are of like interest in mind and character. I have a saying “When one makes it we all make it!” I don’t recall where I heard it or got it from but I see it to have some truth. There is no separation amongst people in the world because we are all under one sun and share the same universe and planet. I think sometimes we forget how fortunate we are or at least maybe sometimes I forget.

But the point is to never forget…

A little about me ZNT :

My motivation is my two boys now ages 3 and 8, leaving them with beauty and a legacy in art.  As an artist, I hope to truly inspire others to follow their dreams to dig deep and never ever give up on their vision because all is possible when you apply yourself. My personal art is a reflection of everything I have seen, touched and experienced in the world around me up until this point and the beauty I see in others.

These are some doodles and drawings I have been working on the last week hope you like this little glimpse.

Peace!
