About Zahra
Zahra grew up in two deserts which vary drastically and have many similarities in culture. One close to the sea, the other close to the mountains. She studied the visual arts in France, and continues various pursuits to further educate herself. She currently lives in the Barelas neighborhood of Albuquerque, New Mexico,
“I build my illustrations with a delicate combination of random thoughts, memories from the past, and little bits of reminiscences. Napping in the afternoon, smoking in the courtyard, coming across a small wedding, I almost forget. I like to discern warmth and poignancy in the imperfections that make us human. In all of my faults and inadequacies, through all of the pain and heartache, I find so much beauty in my life. In my illustrations I consider this wonderful, glorious mess we’re all living in.” – Zahra Marwan
