I'm an Iraq veteran, Tucson-based artist, and writer. My work grew from a search for beauty after witnessing war, and learning that devotion, ritual, and creativity can become pathways home.

The Love Collection is created with devotion, ritual, and the belief that sacred space can change us.

Each piece begins with handwritten prayers beneath the canvas, while Kundalini mantras play. Layers of crushed crystals are added before color and texture emerge.

Blooms gathered from my garden and local markets are arranged with crystals before each work is photographed.

This collection explores softness, beauty, and spaces that ask us to feel deeply.
