My name is Amira and I’m a visual artist trained in many art styles. I’ve been a working artist for over thirty years. My work reflects the love of combining bold and bright colors along with movement into my paintings, which allows me to enjoy dreaming up my next mystical and magical painting. My love for this subject started over twenty years ago while taking my daughter to her ballet lessons. I would sketch her and her classmates as different magical characters. My most recent subject matter are the foods that I love to eat. I’m drawn to the looseness and vibrancy of watercolor. This medium gives me a sense of unpredictability and forces me to appreciate the rhythm and flow of the paint.
