For me, Resilience is beautifully demonstrated by the 70 years old Lebanese grandmother playing piano, after the Beirut explosion. Her granddaughter said that the woman ‘”pushed through her pain and found peace and hope at the keys of the only undamaged item in her otherwise ruined apartment”

“For me there is joy and peace in paintings as it helps to break down barriers and allow open communication between people from various cultures and backgrounds. I have been creating art for more than 20 years and have experimented in various media, but most of my work is oil on canvas. My earlier work was inspired by Subcontinent and Middle Eastern themes, culture, and showed the beauty of east in vibrant colors. I spent many years leaning and refining the intricacies and styles of Arabic calligraphy. Over the past two years, I have been drawn to exploration in abstract expressionism with nature as inspiration and had the good fortune to work with and become friends with the late John Brown, a very gifted artist who passed away recently (may he rest in peace)”
