About the Artist

Zahra Ammar is a paper artist who loves to cut, fold and explore the endless possibilities of paper. She is also in a deep relationship with colors and pigments, creating artisanal watercolors with semiprecious minerals, foraged rocks and synthetic colors. Driving her inspiration from her love of hiking and reading, her work is an essay on florals and geometric patterns. Works can be found at California Medical Association, Kaiser Permanente, Dignity Health and Sutter Hospitals and many private collections around the world.
