Roohs' Art

I started my artistic journey with coloring and painting as a child whilst dreaming of becoming an artist. At age 14, I began exploring poetry and writing up my own poems. At this point, I also aspired to become a poet.

I loved all forms of art and using them as a form of expression, but it all ended abruptly at age 17 because I had to take care of my family. Despite this, my profound love for poetry continued deep down as I attempted to continue writing poetry in secret for years. Throughout those years, I never stopped dreaming. I had a bucket list of dreams to achieve; I yearned for freedom, the attainment of my high school diploma, and the realization of my ambitions as both an artist and a poet.

After a long battle, my dreams started to materialize in 2011. The first step was learning English, reading it, speaking it, and writing it. Subsequently, I earned my GED and received my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from George Washington University in Information Systems Technology.

This accomplishment granted me the financial and intellectual independence necessary to devote myself to my artistic endeavors.

At last, I became a calligraphy poet, ultimately combining my three passions into one. Being able to share my poems using Arabic calligraphy was a breath of fresh air.

I am extremely happy to say that I have started working on another dream, my own art studio RoohsArt where I can share with you, my creations.
