Sariah Sami Najam is a graduate of The Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington, D.C. She won an academic scholarship from the College and also was named on the Dean’s List of Honor.

Sariah is a painter who celebrates the beauty and experience of the natural world around her. Deriving inspiration from her various travels around the world, her depiction of her memories is both intense and dramatic. Using her travels as a starting point her work provides a seamless transition and transformation of reality to imagination and then abstraction. Her inspiration is derived from natural elements and her philosophical inclinations then are superimposed on renderings with a worldly back drop. The natural elements provide the building blocks but are molded into and arranged according to her imagination and philosophy.
