Haji Khanem, the 'Lady of Colour'
Trying to escape the monotony of essay writing, I was browsing BBC News, when I found this video about Haji Khanem, an Iraqi woman who at the age of 75 has become a celebrated artist in Amsterdam where she now lives. They call her the 'Lady of Colour' and it's easy to see why; the bold, striking colours she uses in her paintings give them all a vibrant, exuberant feel.
