Meet our featured beauty with brains Aman Preet, a celebrity portrait artist based in Sydney, Australia.
For Aman, art was a journey which started from the day she could first hold a pencil. Her journey started at the age of 3 as a mere hobby until the age of 11, when she entered her first art competition. She continued to do art as a passion up until year 12 when she decided to make it a career. In college she did a diploma in arts and a bachelors degree in fine arts. In 2007 she moved to Australia with her husband and 2 kids. Since she started working full time, she had to put her art journey on hold until 2016 when she started again after having her third kid. Being a mother meant working part-time, that is 9am-3pm (school time) and nights. That’s the only time she had to do her sketching. Each artwork takes up to 20 hours to create, depending on the amount of detail in it and what she is making. Her aim is to introduce the Indian culture to the new generation. She has done sketches of famous Indian celebrities such as Miss Universe 1994 and Actress Sushmita Sen, Singer Sonu Nigam, Poet and Film Director Gulzar, Actress Divya Dutta, Actress Diya Mirza, Actress Shabana Azmi, Actor Amrinder Gill and many others and have presented them with the drawings which they have appreciated a lot. She has participated in many art competitions and won several awards and prizes.
