Helen Zughaib is one of the most renowned Arab‐American artists in the United States. Her work is exhibited in the White House, the Library of Congress, the World Bank and in hundreds of collections, museums and galleries across the globe. President Barack Obama presented a painting by Zughaib to Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al‐Maliki, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave one of her paintings to Morocco’s King Mohammad VI. Zughaib is an ambassador for peace, whose art illuminates the commonalities of all people, bridging what often seem to be insurmountable cultural divides.
