Brilliant article on Rawan and her Palestinian art follow the link Rawan Anani

{Rawan said: I was inspired to paint by my father. I spent much of my childhood watching him paint in his studio. In my paintings, the Palestinian heritage is always present whether through the Palestinian folkloric dresses, calligraphy, Palestinian landscape or even by the Palestinian old houses. I also tend to focus on Palestinian women, symbolizing the land, productivity and resilience.}
