Visit the Gallery to see more of my artwork.

My work is in photography, printmaking, installation
and bookarts.  My themes are social and political issues.

Here's a recent
article about me and my work
This is a 4 page double sided accordion artists  book.  I've used paper lithographs from photo portraits,
photos taken around the World Trade Center site and a quote in English and Arabic, "In America, you can
speak your mind, do whatever you want." 2011  Each page is 11 x 17".  I interviewed and photographed
several Muslim Americans and talked with them about how they feel about their place in America. This work
can be seen until early January, 2012 at
Proteus Gowanus Gallery in Brooklyn as part of the exhibit,
Migration.
This is my window installation at
