CANADA---Islamic paintings decorating the inside of a bustling 17th Avenue S.W. coffeehouse are not only spurring quiet discussion, but also quite a stir. The art, which depicts Arabic calligraphy and mosques, is being featured at Waves Coffee House. The Art of Islam founder Ola Mohajer says she launched the Calgary business as a platform for local artists to sell their Islamically-inspired art in North America. “The coffee shops are really a great way to not only showcase our work but also speak to people who are just in the coffee shop,” says Mohajer.
