I started out drawing mostly in pencil, then added ink, and eventually ink washes. I have always loved the illusion of depth so its no surprise that I combine my love for Islamic geometric patterns with my interest in space, focusing on interlacing lattice work and weave patterns.

In the last few years, most of my creativity has been concentrated on 3-D geometric shapes. I love building models of polyhedra. Polygons are figures in 2 dimensions for example a triangle, a square, a pentagon.... Think of polyhedra as figures in 3 dimensions with polygons for faces. A simple example of a polyhedron is a cube (six square faces). Dice are cubes. Another common concrete example is pyramids. If the pyramid has a triangular base, its a tetrahedron (4 triangular faces). And the polyhedra get more and more intricate as the number of faces increases. In addition to the different kinds of shapes one can create, I love playing around with how to use common place materials to construct my models. Many of my models are pieces of cardboard taped together with layers of glue and paint covering them, but I also have polyhedra made of things like cut up pop cans; old cds; popsicle sticks; and shish kabob skewers. Mostly, I make them for my own enjoyment (I have models hanging from the ceiling in my bedroom, but I have made some commissions out of thin hand-made paper with a light bulb inside so that they can function as lamps.

Woodworking is another interest of mine, and you could consider the functional things I make pieces of art themselves; however, I sometimes incorporate some of my art in projects I am building. For instance, I built my bed, and in the center of the headboard is an Islamic lattice work that I made out of popsicle sticks.
