Aneesah is a self-taught artist working primarily in charcoal, graphite and pastels.

She is originally from the Cape Flats and has felt deeply connected to the natural world from a young age.

Her work explores conservation themes and the delicate relationship between humans and nature. Through her drawings, she invites viewers to slow down and really look at the beauty and intricacies of the natural world, while also drawing attention to what is at risk due to climate change and habitat loss.

She has over a decade of experience as a practising artist. Her recent work was featured in the Our Wild World virtual art exhibition (2025), curated by the Confluence Community, and published in Compassiviste Publishing’s anthology How to Save the World, Vol. 7: Uncaging the Animals.

She has also exhibited at the SA Sendinggestig Museum as part of the City of Cape Town’s Emerging Artist Pop-Up Exhibition in November 2025.
