Career
Javeri has been painting and creating art from her early years. [3] She had her first show at the Canvas Gallery in Karachi, entitled 'Weeds'. This show had been under wraps for nearly 20 years. "She has incorporated many global themes into her work, especially regarding gender," said Marjorie Husain, a Pakistani critic, 'as she pointed at a painting that was about the Serbian War.'[1]
Her second non-solo show, 'Pakistan Art Today', was held at the Lalit Hotel in Delhi. It featured the work of 11 Pakistani artists and "was curated by Islamabad based gallery MyArtWorld and formed part of the larger Aalishan Pakistan trade show to Delhi". Javeri was accompanied by many other Pakistani artists such as sculptor Amin Gulgee, photographer Tapu Javeri, miniaturist Sahyr Sayed and pop artist Summayya Jillani. "The highlight of the exhibition was the participation of art icon Satish Gujral who lit the lamp to open the show and also initiated the live painting." In fact, Javeri and a few other Pakistani artists, created a painting with Gujral,[1] and commented "It was a remarkable opportunity to paint with the legendary and very gracious Indian artist Satish Gujral".[3] Javeri hopes to keep pursuing her career as an artist and in February 2015 said she was working on her next exhibition, which would revolve around her city, Karachi.[3]
