Tell us about you~ What is your story? Married, kids, fur babies? What things do you do besides your craft? I am a nanny/full-time college student. I love music and art. I am a singer with some acting background. In my free time, you can find me at the beach or in my bedroom practicing my guitar.
What makes your passion shine and what are you most passionate about when you see your finished work? I am focused on loving my imperfections. When I see my finished products, it pushes me to take myself to the next level and make magic happen.
What has been the hardest part of being a photographer/model/makeup artists/hair stylist, etc? Learning that what works for one person, does not always work for the next. Coming to grips with the fact that life has its own speed limit.
Would you change anything that you have learned? Not as of now. I would only want to act as a sponge and learn more, absorbing all that life has to teach me.
What kind of legacy do you want to leave behind with your work? Self-love and appreciation. Everyone has flaws, but not everyone loves their flaws. It's when you grow to love your flaws, that you become flawless.
What advice do you have for people just starting out? Set goals and move at your own speed. Remember that when you lay down and go to sleep, you will wake up to a new day with all new opportunities ahead. Take life one step at a time.
Thank you Maryam for sharing your creative journey with us! We love having you as part of the Artistic Alliance Community!
