The message of Mr.Keith Stelling, An artistst from  Southampton, about his visit:

Dear fellow Artist, Saideh Ajami
Yesterday I was so graciously and honourably received by your sister at your little exhibition in Toronto—complete with Persian almonds—I could taste how much better they are than the Californian ones we get! And I had the chance to look at some of your work which I immediately felt was infused with honesty, sincerity, and passionate love for your country and its beautiful, kind, often wise people.
Your sister offered me a drink of orange juice—which was very good on one of Toronto’s hottest days when I was visiting with my wife to inspect some of the David Milne paintings in the AGO just around the corner. With the addition of the Persian carpets—which have for hundreds of years been the envy of the whole world, and the tiny replicas of Persepolis, (which reminded me of the amazing Ancient Persian stone sculptures in the basement of the Louvre in Paris, --Persian sculpture has always been envied by the world—and that is why it was pillaged by the French colonial invaders and remains in Paris—which is, after all, the international museum for the world. Your very beautiful greeting cards have captured the energy of the rural villages around Esfahan, especially the deeply understanding portraits of wise craftsmen and merchants. 
I was torn between choosing, as the best of your work, the card depicting the village mud walls and the narrow street—so commonly seen throughout Persia.
What wonderful treasures for the art world your ancient civilization has produced. What splendid domed architecture, enamel work, paradise evoking tile work and fountains. Such illuminated manuscripts and golden sculptures. The greatest poet of the Middle Eastern neighborhood of the world was able to have an influence far beyond is country and today, even more so, people find his wisdom of great use and personal edification.
Your exhibition somehow brought back memories on my own experience in Tehran in 1968-9. I was a student taking the train, bus, hitchhiking—whatever I could—to India and I had learned of a train that would take me on the next segment of my journey. I must have looked terribly lost in the centre of the city—I had no idea of where the railway station was, or which narrow twisting lane went anywhere I needed to be. No doubt, in my English tweed jacket, hush puppies and corduroy trousers, I must have been so obvious to everyone in my confusion, vulnerability and need—I was very hungry, very tired, and very alone.
Picture yourself suddenly moving from a state of total isolation, not understanding a sign or a word, transported into a wonderful warm beautiful room lined with the most wonderful deep red Persian carpets; imagine the smell of Persian food—so sweet and aromatic—not at all biting or harsh, suddenly soothing your empty tired stomach with its ancient spices—still sought for around the world--  Ah! Such food! Those who know Persian food with a sigh with me.

Kind regards,
Keith
