As a Yemeni American artist, I draw inspiration from my rich Yemeni cultural heritage to produce both functional pottery and decorative sculptures. My passion for ceramics was ignited during a trip to Chez Galip's renowned pottery studio in Cappadocia, Turkey where I first tried my hand at the wheel in 2021. The tactile sensation of working with mud proved to be a deeply therapeutic experience for me, and as someone who enjoys creating with my hands, I was immediately hooked.

Upon returning to Chicago, I knew I had to pursue ceramics further and began taking courses to develop my skills. Today, I am proud to showcase my unique blend of traditional Yemeni artistry and contemporary design sensibilities through my art portfolio.
