H’Art Matters is the gallery of contemporary artist Nafisa, who has been represented in most Australian art prizes and won the Archibald Packing Room Prize in 2010 for her portrait of Glenn A Baker. Nafisa uses several different mediums in her practice including pastels, oils, graphite, bronze and resin. H'Art Matters Gallery is open to the public four days a week – if you drop by you might even get to speak to the artist herself.
Born in Mumbai, Nafisa came to art via medicine and fashion, and began her art career in 2000. All proceeds from her work go into wildlife conservation work with the Animal Works wildlife charity, which aims to help prevent the extinction of famous species. Nafisa has so far raised over $400,000 for the charity, and lately Animal Works has been helping preserve the Sumatran tiger.
