There is a lot in common between people’s faces and colors; just as there are endless variations of shades and hues, there are endless variations of faces from the 4 corners of the earth, they all come together to form one rainbow called humanity! These are some of my favorite faces in mixed media, ecoline, markers , chalk, oil pastel and collage.

Isn’t it great to have a sister or a best friend? Well, I have millions of sisters and best friends, yes millions, and it’s a great feeling because I know they’re all thinking of me and whishing me well, even if they don’t know me and have never met me. this is one great thing about being a Muslim girl.

There are many ways to look at Islam; I like to explore the values and manners side of it and to portray it in my art. It’s amazing how civilized and humane it makes me feel just to learn these values, and how this could be a much better world if we all learnt to apply them.

I am an American who converted to Islam. I spent several years living in  Egypt and still visit as much as I can with my Egyptian husband. I notice beauty in the country that others may take for granted. For example, the tranquility of a solitary mosques every so many kilometers along the barren Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road at night, glowing with green (the traditional color of Islam). I imagined one of the mosques' minarets forming the word "Allah".

Also, when I read the Quran I see images in my mind because it is so eloquent. For example here is how I see the Verse of Light from the Qur’an:

Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The Parable of His Light is as if there were a Niche and within it a Lamp: the Lamp enclosed in Glass: the glass as it were a brilliant star: Lit from a blessed Tree, an Olive, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil is very luminous, though fire never touched it: Light upon Light! Allah guides whom He will to His Light: And Allah speaks to mankind in allegories: and Allah knows all things -Al Nur 24:35
