Meet Iffat Ali
Categories: Paintings and Islamic Calligraphy
Iffat Ali is an Early Years practitioner at a nursery. She resides in the UK with her husband and three children. Art has been a language that helped her connect with Allah (The Most High) and is a calming place amidst the chaos of life especially during lockdown. She had the courage to lift her paintbrush and begin following encouragement of several wonderful sisters. She considers art therapeutic where she can discover herself and the blessings Allah (The Most High) bestowed upon her. She hopes that whoever gazes at her work will find soulful tranquillity.
