Asma Al-Masyabi is a free-verse poet and visual artist based in Colorado, who occasionally delves into flash fiction. She is currently pursuing her Associates in English with a concentration in creative writing. Her two biggest passions are crafting the written word and art and she wants to pursue a life-long career where she can do both. She’s dreaming big dreams, reading good books, while simultaneously baking chocolate chip cookies. When not experimenting in the kitchen, you can find her reading all the comics she can get her hands on and watching the next big hit her mom found on TV.

Artist‘s Statement
As a writer and artist, I always try to really challenge myself. I attempt new genres and formats and commit myself to doing things I never thought I could. However, I always stick to what I feel characterizes my work—writing about the smaller things. The quiet and not-so-quiet moments that build our everyday lives, the little things that are often part of something bigger than all of us. That, I feel, is where I find the best stories.
