Faces of New York Mariam Touzie

Faces of New York is a colorful art book with painted pages portraying my moments of life in Manhattan, from 1986-2019. I was born on the shoulders of the Alborz Mountain in Tehran, Iran. And never imagined to live decades of my life on an island! Manhattan is this tiny rock much like a diamond that shines day and night tucked in the corner of the great Atlantic Ocean. I've lived on one side or the other of the Empire State Building. So, I illustrated some of the moments and sights around me. Come walk with me through my New York.
