Jordanian Artist Sadouf Salem Weaves a Canvas of Tales

Over the past two decades, Sadouf Salem has made a name for herself as one of Jordan's most talented women artists/painters.  Her amazing artwork which adorns her personal gallery in Amman tells of a lifetime of experiences, love, pain, beauty and survival.

Sadouf sat with me for an exclusive interview on July 9th, 2011 at her gallery where she spoke about her art, her spirituality and her artistic journey towards self-acceptance.

Below is her interview--intertwined with pictures of the artist, her work, and her fans--as well as pictures of the artwork she is currently displaying at Sadouf Gallery.
