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

I've also become involved in the art of poetry: my work has been
published online at  
and will be in an upcoming issue of Eunoia Review.

Here's a recent article about me and my work.
This is a 4-page double-sided accordion artist's  book from 2011 using paper lithographs from
photo portraits, The photos were taken around the World Trade Center site, and the piece includes
a quote in English and Arabic:
"In America, you can speak your mind, do whatever you want."  
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.
