Tamam’s experience with the Palestinian tragedy was different from Ismail’s although she confronted the same suffering and pain. She was still a child when she began painting in her Palestinian hometown, Jaffa. But soon she became one of the victims of the Palestinian catastrophe, when she and her family were forced to leave Jaffa by sea for Beirut, Lebanon, as refugees The following years were extremely difficult for the whole family but Tamam’s talent attracted attention providing her with good opportunities to paint and receive encouragement from such prominent Lebanese artists as Mustafa Farroukh, Qaisar Jumayyel and Omar Onsi .
