Tamam’s artistic experience was quite rich in form and content She tackled several subjects in her paintings using more than one style In the starting years of her journey she tended to prefer the realistic style inspired by the Palestinian way of life and the beautiful landscape of Lebanon Later on she moved to topics emanating from stories of Palestinian heritage which she depicted in marvelous pieces of art using the historical style of Arab painting.In the following stage she was attracted to topics about Palestinian cities like Jerusalem, Jaffa, Nablus, Bethlehem, Hebron and others She produced paintings showing the old houses and alleys of these cities that were stored in her memory Here, also, she used the historical Arab style where she would show more than one scene in the same painting.

Tamam also used a unique style in some of her paintings where she would paint a certain scene and then repeated in the same piece of work but with different lines and graded colours. This was impressed on her by the famous folkloric Arab "Mawwal" and Arab rhythm.
