Although Ghulam Sarwar has been in the truck and bus painting business for 35 years in his native Pakistan, but he first gained attention in the U.S. in 2009, during an arts festival in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Abigail Adams-Greenway, an artist living in Bethesda, Maryland, had her car painted by Sarwar and said she first saw some of the furniture he’d painted at a market in Washington, DC.
