About Me

A journey through artistic milestones.

Exhibitions, achievements, teaching, and years of creating — a look at the experiences that shaped my artistic path.

I serve on the Board of Directors of the Lebanese Syndicate of Visual Artists, where I am also responsible for media relations. In addition, I am a member of the Lebanese Plastic Artists Association for Painting and Sculpture and of the Colors Forum Association.

Several of my works are displayed in significant locations: two paintings at Rafic Hariri International Airport, one at the Presidential Palace, three at the Military Academy, one at Qana Municipality, one at the National Museum of China, one at the China Biennale, and one at an art gallery in Jordan.

I have participated in numerous exhibitions both in Lebanon and abroad—including in Syria, Jordan, Qatar, France, Spain, China, Saudi Arabia (Jeddah and Riyadh), and Egypt—as well as in solo and group exhibitions.

I hold a Master’s degree in Fine Arts from the University of Balamand–ALBA (1999). I also pursued advanced training in France at the University of Cergy-Pontoise and ENSAC. In 2007, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design. Alongside my artistic career, I teach art in schools and universities.

Beijing, China

In 2019, I took part in an exhibition in Beijing, China, organized by the Biennale International Association at the National Museum of China. Four Lebanese women artists were invited to participate, and we were honored to represent our country, Lebanon, on an international stage. The exhibition brought together around 600 artists from across the world. This painting is now part of the Biennale Association in China. Its subject focused on a colorful district, which was especially highlighted and praised by the jury.

Military Academy, Lebanon

I have presented three plaques to the Military Academy, as a gesture of appreciation, honor, and love for this institution — an institution that won the Battle of Arsal, and one that I deeply respect and revere.

Rafic Hariri International Airport

In 2015, I wished to donate these two paintings to Rafic Hariri International Airport. Although I was living abroad, my love for Lebanon inspired me to honor my homeland through my art. I dedicated these works to the airport, especially to its reception area, as a gesture for expatriates and for all who hold Lebanon dear.
