| About the Artist |
|
| Not having the opportunity to attend art school, Sahar graduated from the Kuwaiti Institute for Computer Studies in Kuwait City. Later, her love for art pushed her to take lessons for three years from professional artists. Before moving to North Carolina, She exhibited her work at several galleries in Kuwait. After the Gulf War in 1990, she moved to Asheville with her husband and three daughters, where she took time to raise her family and adjust to the new home. In Asheville, Sahar has continued her education in art by taking workshops and attending life drawing classes. In May 2005 she graduated from the University of North Carolina in Asheville with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Sahar
works with mixed media, collage, oil paint, clay and other material.
Her recent works are concerned with the issues and frustrations of war
and violence; their effect on innocent people, and the feeling of helplessness
war creates. Her work can be seen at the Asheville Gallery of Art, in
downtown Asheville |
