Its hard to express myself in person. When I’m creating art it feels like everything I’m thinking and feeling is brought to the surface.

I don’t have one set style of art, but I most enjoy abstract art and Arabic calligraphy.
Where do you find inspiration?I would say my inspiration comes from color. I’m most intrigued by seeing colors blend and I always imagine myself recreating that. So usually I pick my colors before I start a piece.
What would you do with $25,000?I have been a teacher for 23 years, and although I am not an art teacher, I always give my students the opportunity to create art. I would expand that into an art program for children. I fear technology has guided a lot of children away from play and creativity and I would like to remind them of what it’s like to create with their hands again.
