When asked about her painting style, Amira comments, "There is a deep place of peace and serenity within every human being, and I would like my work to invoke a remembrance of this inner place".

Amira is also an accomplished musician. She plays many different instruments including guitar, bansuri (Indian bamboo flute), tabla , santoor (hammered dulcimer), violin and tamboura. She has played at many venues accompanying Coleman Barks reading his versions of Rumi.   Amira’s music will be playing at the gallery for the opening at 7:00 pm.
