Iraqi Artist Madiha UMAR
"Being a widely traveled artist, her work is a colorful record of the places she has been to and impressed by. There are her visions of the Nile banks, Tigris, Rhode Island, minarets, domes and Baghdadi houses.

Artist Madiha Umar’s works offer the viewer the delight of seeing and perceiving"
