ABOUT MARYAM:
Maryam started her love for the arts at the young age of 7. Her father, a business owner and artist too, would send her brother "Little Yahyah" to art classes while Maryam went to tap dance lessons but tap wasn't of her interest. Sneaking around her brother room to take art supplies, Maryam started to sketch objects around the house and drawing at school in secret. During a school writing project, Maryam added an sketch to her story - mimicking a newspaper design style, allowing her teacher, peers and now, her parents to learn of her hidden talents as an artist. From then on, her father found countless art and technology programs for his daughter to attend. Tap dance lessons had finally ended, and the pencil has taken the lead. By tenth grade, Maryam gained a Fine Art Diploma from University of Penn. During her eleventh grade year, attending a pilot program at University of Sciences, Maryam completed the 1997 Microsoft Certified Professional in Business Application which upon completion, Microsoft awarded her a personal home-computer. After having a PC of her own everyone expected Maryam to grow her own business, using both her art and computer skills as a selling tool to use as a vessel to enhance other small businesses. And as you can see, Maryam has stayed true to those art & IT goals, thanks to all of you, outstanding supporters.
