These portraits of muslim women, muslimahs, include a few distinct projects including Technicolor Muslimah (2011) and An-Noor (2014). These works offer a counter narrative to the stereotypical images of Muslim women seen in media and popular culture. In these paintings, muslimahs are painted in bright colors, exuding joy and power.
