Notes - The flowering of Islam has been brought to the historical and cultural forefront of the modern world by a team of gifted flowers who bloom in the cultural garden of Richmond, NH. Sheila Blair and Jonathan Bloom, who have lived on Old Homestead Highway since 1987, and where they raised two children, Felicity and Oliver, have emerged as two of the most well known and respected scholars in the field of Islamic art. Among their many books and writings is Islam: A Thousand Years of Faith and Power, the companion reading to the acclaimed PBS documentary, Islam: Empire of Faith.
Born in Montreal, Sheila grew up in Connecticut. She attended Tufts, and later majored in Fine Arts and Middle Eastern Studies at Harvard. Jonathan grew up in New York, went to Harvard College, took an MA at the University of Michigan, and began his PhD at Harvard where he met Sheila. They both graduated with PhDs having traveled and researched throughout the Middle East and Central Asia.
