To say that I devote my entire time to art would not be a lie. I believe that you can live life as a form of art. How you communicate with people and how you establish a connection with our natural world is a form of art. From these experiences, I build a library of lines, colors, values, spaces, and textures that I internalize, thus externalizing my next art piece. The times in my life where I have balance feel the best for me and thus I draw and analyze my feelings and process them into art pieces that have balance, utilizing movement, harmony, and playing on the illusions of proportion. Our eyes see more of what we want to see and thus, we live our lives constantly out of proportion. Many of my abstract pieces live that way as well, out of proportion.  

From looking at my art pieces, its not difficult to see things that I love, including Calligraphy, the Environment, Mythology, Native American Culture, Bedouins, and social justice. My experiences of wearing a scarf have played themselves out in real life and sneak their way into my art pieces. Like M.C. Escher who profoundly discovered his tessellation awakening when he went and saw the Great Mosques of Spain, my awakenings have been not only from adventures in Syria, but growing up here in America as a Muslim American Woman.
