I was awarded the second place as an artist in the ceremony of jazz music in Michigan on summer of 2009. I have won several awards including first place at the "Many Faces, One Future" exhibition in Farmington Hills, MI in 2002. I am not only an exhibiting artist, but I was also a professor in universities which taught art in Iraq and Jordan. My recent exhibit was in Illinois on 2009 and 2010. It was entitled "Land and Walls". I have a wide range of experience in realistic subjects using all kinds of art materials in fields of portrait and landscape, wide range of alteration and repairing old master paints with high-quality and provisional artwork level.
