'100 Inspiring Icons Whose Actions Changed The World'
Featured: The She Series Book
"For Saleha Contractor, discovering the ability to chronicle emotions through art was just one part of her journey. It not only transformed her hobby into a business, she also realized that her creativity was urging her to look beyond traditional ways of thinking. Saleha was inspired to use her artwork to create a new way for her and others to engage with the Islamic faith...
Over the years, as Contractor's art gained exposure, she realized she was creating a unique body of work that was becoming recognizable. The natural next step was to expand and take her artwork to the global stage. She had no gallery representation, art grant, or guidance on how to scale a company to produce and ship prints of her work internationally. But as a first-generation immigrant with a hunger to succeed, she knew she could use her creative skills to figure it out.
Saleha has faced pushback not just for her unique style, but also as a woman of color, and a mother, in the male-dominated art industry. But she’s refused to give up her dream...
Whether her artwork is the focal point of a home, a future heirloom families can pass down through generations, or hanging in a gallery of a 5-star hotel in Makkah situated across from the holiest site for Muslims, Saleha is excited about the connection people have with her pieces. She is proud, knowing that her work is inspiring an emotional response or a conversation with friends and family.
Saleha Contractor’s artwork is chronicling Islamic history in a non-traditional way and is fulfilling the vision she set out with from the start."
