I am a retired grandmother. My real name is Valerie. Jawaher is my stage name and it means Jewel in Arabic. I was a Middle East Dance Professional for 25 years and a Mainframe Computer Programmer for 40 years. I’ve had a very interesting life and have always loved to take photos, in addition to sketching, jewelry making, pottery, etc. I thought I would try my luck and put a few things out here. Hope you like my work and I know I’m going to like yours. My favorite things are just about anything, tee-hee. I’m an old hippie and definately keeping the faith. Val
