Wafa Alqunibit is a Saudi Arabian woman who has always had a desire to create art. She was unable to study art in high school, but she never lost the aspiration. Twenty-four years later (now a wife and mother of two children) she moved to Portland, Oregon to study language at Portland State University. Wafa has enjoyed learning and creating over the past years. She loves to communicate and connect with people through her art. Her goal is to impact her audience, emotionally –she focuses on relationships and her artistic voice in her work. Wafa primarily uses natural materials. The natural materials assist in connecting herself with her audience, with nature and with the Creator. Her goal is to return to her home country to share her knowledge and experiences with other aspiring young female artists. She would like to enable other artists to express their state of being through creative artistic works.
