I have loved creating art ever since I can remember. Childhood summers were spent taking classes at The South Orange-Maplewood Adult School, The Newark Museum, and Ramapo College to name a few. But it was during my years as a Visual Studies major at Temple University that I began to study Arabic Calligraphy. The versatility of Arabic letters has captured me and I have been exploring for about 6 years now.
