From luxury hotel lobbies to high-end boutiques, Nosheen Iqbal’s art has quietly woven itself into some of the most recognizable spaces in the U.S. Her signature fiber artistry has landed in spaces like Hermès, Marriott, Starbucks, and DoubleTree. Her embroidered skyline installation graces downtown Austin’s Lady Bird Lake. Her intricate roped displays have stretched stretch across The Goddard Center – and this is just the beginning.
Her technique is meticulous. Some of her fiber pieces demand over 60 hours of threadwork, each stitch a delicate balance of patience and precision. Born in London, this mother of three is a full-time artist living in Dallas. By securing space in luxury design, corporate landmarks, and public installations, she ensures that South Asian artistry isn’t just appreciated—it’s revered.
Nosheen Iqbal’s Pakistani roots are central to her artistic vision, shaping her approach to color, pattern, and texture. Drawing inspiration from Pakistan’s diverse traditions of embroidery and pigment dyeing, taking notes from what each province has to offer, Nosheen Iqbal merges classical influences with contemporary designs.
Her work is also deeply informed by the intricate geometry art of Islamic art. Expanding on traditional motifs, she reimagines them into new forms of decoration and design. Using vibrant cotton threads and wooden panels, Nosheen Iqbal stitches structural embroideries that blend architectural arabesques with Punjabi craft.
Her mixed media incorporates phulkari floral folk embroidery and bag, the intricate woodblock printed reliefs, creating a refreshing dialogue between heritage and innovation. Iqbal’s work has been featured in Texas Monthly, Kera News, and Colossal.
