Leila Fatemi

As a visual artist living between cultures, Leila is influenced by her own life experiences and understandings. Her work results from personal reflections as well as the attempt to create an appreciation and more informed understanding of Islamic culture and its foundations. Through the perspective of a practicing Muslim artist, she strives to create thought-provoking work that affords her viewers an alternative perspective on Islamic traditions and beliefs.

Aside from her fine-art work, Leila has experience working professionally as a curator and community arts educator.
