Artist Statement
I am inspired by the fusion of Islamic mysticism and the physical/cultural landscapes of the American West. My abstract work explores the parallels of Qur'anic calligraphy with the linear rhythms found in nature, be it on the grand scale of geographic forms or the minutiae of lichen on limestone in the high desert.
