Oneness with Art & Spirituality with Salma Arastu & Sister Jenna

Born into the Sindhi and Hindu traditions in Rajasthan, India, Salma embraced Islam and moved to the United States in 1986. As a woman, artist, and mother, she works to create harmony by expressing the universality of humanity through paintings, sculpture, and calligraphy.

At birth, she was given the life-defining challenge of a left hand without fingers. Seeing the unity of an all-encompassing God, she was able to transcend the barriers often set-forth in the traditions of religion, culture, and the cultural perceptions of handicaps. Her personal triumphs have been defined and shaped by the simple principle of faith in The Divine, as the compelling force which has guided her life and work.

Salma is a graduate in Fine Arts from Maharaja Sayajirao University in Baroda, India and has presented her work and given talks at Stanford University, the Commonwealth of San Francisco, Seattle University, and the Graduate Theological Union at Berkeley, to name a few.

As a visual artist she has had 45 solo shows nationally and internationally and has won several prestigious awards. Her public art pieces are on display in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and San Diego, California and she has written and published five books on art and poetry. Her new book is titled, “Our Earth: Embracing All Communities.” Visit https://salmaarastu.com
