A powerful celebration of cultures through music and visual arts!
It was an honor to partner with the Apollo Chamber Players, Chamber Music America’s 2025 Ensemble of the Year, for an evening of dialogue, visual arts, and music to celebrate Houston’s multicultural landscape. I was proud to represent Islamic Arts Society and highlight the rich heritage of Islamic Arts during the panel discussion. Photos courtesy of Lynn Lane Photography.

A wonderful afternoon sharing the art of ebru with beautiful people!
I felt truly privileged to conduct ebru workshops for the superheroes of the Methodist Hospital through their Center of Performing Arts.
The Center aims to translate the collaborative potential of arts and medicine into the healthcare environment and purposefully integrates performing and visual arts into the hospital environment to support the well-being of their healthcare providers.
The therapeutic nature of ebru art does wonders for the body and soul!
What better way to celebrate Eid, marking the end of Ramadan, than to be part of Asia Society’s Festival of Eid. Thank you Asia Society for inviting me back to share the art of ebru with the visitors!
It was wonderful to participate in HCCC’s Community Craft Day! I loved sharing the art of ebru with all visitors.
It is always so satisfying to give back to the community. My artwork was requested for Alley Theater’s annual fundraiser, The Alley Ball, and was sold in the live auction!
Alley Theatre is one of the largest U.S. professional nonprofit theatres outside of New York City. Founded in 1947 it is also one of the oldest professional resident theatre companies in the country.
I was honored to be invited to serve as a judge for the curated art exhibit, which showcased visual art by talented artists from seven different regions of the US. What an impressive display!
As President of Islamic Arts Society, I am so honored to host legends like Haji Noor Deen, at our 10th Islamic arts festival. And what a privilege to have renowned artists like Behnaz Karjoo, Paul Barchilon, Moina Sajjad, and Jennifer Usman showcase their beautiful work at the festival!
