The Bernice Coulter Templeton Gallery is proud to present “Tangles, Knots and Binds” a mixed media exhibition by Humna Ambreen Raza. Humna is an American-Pakistani artist. Originally born in Jacksonville, Florida, Raza moved at the tender age of six to her parent’s hometown of Karachi, Pakistan where she grew up and lived for a decade. In 2013 she returned to the United States, relocating to Fort Worth, Texas.

Her first serious decision to pursue art as a career began when she took her first Painting class as a Tarrant County College student. In 2019 she graduated from Texas Woman’s University with her BFA in Painting/Drawing and in 2022 she received her MFA in Intermedia from The University of Texas at Arlington.
Raza is a multidisciplinary artist interested in the human body and suppressed emotions. Her most recent body of work reflects her private thoughts and sensations. Her works explore concealed feelings of trauma, stress, anxiety and depression through a variety of mediums such as painting, drawing, ceramics and photography.

Raza currently works as an Assistant Professor of Art at Tarrant County College South Campus where she teaches Photography and Design I. Alongside exhibiting her work nationally, Raza stays involved within the art community by serving as Treasurer to the Society of Photographic Education’s South-Central chapter. Additionally, she is an avid music lover and plays the Violin.
