This is a window display and visitors can make an appointment to purchase a piece of work by contacting the artist at shidahsalam@verizon.net

The gallery continues to be closed this mont because of Covid19 restrictions.  Muse follows the guidelines of using masks and social distancing.

‘PreElude’ means a new beginning to attain something desired or pursued that was failed to be attained by (someone).  This is a memorial piece. The flower and olive leaf motifs are created into three-dimensional sculptural and wearable flowers. I created the Pearls Collar, bibs, necklace and shawl as a complete clothing attire.

Hand stitch, crochet and quilt techniques are used to create the flowers using cotton wool yarns and tulle fabrics for the transparency effect. The center of the flowers is filled with coconut shells beads to bring back the nostalgic memories of my childhood background. 

This exhibit also honors those who have passed.
