(CANADA)Collage, with all the tangible textural qualities I so enjoy, has become my chosen medium. The excitement of papers of every colour, texture and pattern, the suggestive qualities that allow me to "build" my paintings, the juxtaposition of these elements which creates the sensuous interplay of form and colour – all this gives me the freest, most spontaneous expression I know and a much greater pleasure as a painter than pigment on a palette.

(CANADA)The collective theme of the artist’s work revolves around the intricate workings of the human body and the effect of physical pain on the spirit and soul. Kader uses her art as a liberating and therapeutic arena where science and abstract creative ideas converge to offer the viewer a bold new vision of the inner life of the body. Living with the painful and visible manifestations of rare and little understood physical ailments known as Madelung's Deformity and Leri-Weill dyschondrosteosis, Kader has struggled to come to terms with her own physicality and its role in how she understands herself and her relationship with the world around her. The condition has challenged her to explore the relationship between the interior and exterior workings of the human body. Her work is a collection of abstract paintings and figurative drawings of the body at a cellular level.
