Salwa paints in the style of an impressionist realist. She loves to paint from plain air. Her portfolio includes a range of portraits, landscapes, seascapes, and figurative works and while she has used several different painting mediums, her favourite is oil colour. Her debut exhibition at The Garden, ‘Serenity’, has been inspired by the beauty of the South Coast landscapes.
Salwa’s exhibition commences Thursday, 6th April.

Salwa has had many solo and group exhibitions and been awarded several prizes for her work including the best overall prizes and first prizes. In addition, Salwa’s paintings have been published in the International Contemporary Artist, 2014, Vol IX and contributing seven articles for the Australia Artist magazine about her painting’s techniques.
