Imaginative, wondrous, and joyful are few of the many words to describe the work of artist Anisa Makhoul. Based in Portland, Oregon, Makhoul's lens is informed by the vibrant, lush landscape of the Pacific Northwest. In turn, her color palette pops off the page, her figures seem to smile, and her themes exude liveliness. Amidst the commotion of adulthood, Makhoul uplifts with a sense of childlike wonderment.
