About/Artist

"I like to write a story, a poem, for every painting I make; life is fiction and mine is a very interesting one.

When I am painting, I am filled with a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment. When people see my work, I'd like them to think, to feel and to touch my point of view.

My work might seem a little political , but I want to bring the audience out of their comfort zone. I want to share my experience as a woman to reflect on a common yet overlooked dilemma."

Nohra Studio was founded by Bissan Rafe Alhussien Qasrawi (Arabic/بيسان رافع قصراوي ) in Houston, TX (US) back in 2005 as a registered trademark and official site of the artist's work .
