Kashifa Sohail was born in Karachi, Pakistan in 1975. She received her art education from the Karachi Art College (Department of Painting, where she won a 'best painting' award) and participated in local juried competitions. For several years during the 1990's Kashifa lived in Dubai, United Arab Emirate, where she was a member of the Sharjha Art Museum and taught art to children aged 4 to 10. An active member in the art community, she enjoyed painting Arabs and their local culture.
In 2000, the artist emigrated to New Jersey, USA, where she joined the Art Association in Roxbury and began working as a greeting-card illustrator and as a freelance artist. Continuing to participate in juried shows and other art exhibitions, Kashifa's work earned a 'best painting' award in the Spring Show of Morris County College.
She has benefited from observing the varied cultures and lifestyles of these countries; she has lived in, before immigrating to Canada. It was a hard struggle for her to revitalize her career after every move, but this dedication has helped her to become more an enthusiastic, passionate, diverse artist.

She tries to bring together all the elements in composition for the movement of the eye across the picture plane.
