I am an artist/writer who has been creating art and design from my studio in Dubai for over 30 years.

After a career in corporate graphic design, I became interested in community art and collaborative public art. The next 12 years saw me leading large scale community art projects In Dubai, working with school communities to pitch, conceptualize, budget and create murals, mosaics, yarn bombing and other projects that connected people through art.

Since 2019, I shifted my energy inward, to create a body of work that examines what it means to be a woman- an Arab woman in particular - in a post-colonial world. Through experiments with mixed media, particularly involving mixing fabric with paint, I aim to invade the sensory space of the viewer to involve them closely with the subject of women and fiber arts - with pieces that they can feel, literally and figuratively. I have found that one way to take ownership of the damaging narrative is to use the universal language of art and the vehicle of social media to engage, heal and enlighten - working at the intersection of art and social justice. 

I passionately believe that art has the power to provoke positive social change, and that artists have the tools and the responsibility to use it as a vehicle for such change.

My art is available for sale at Saatchi Art and Kawkab Art. You can also email me here for direct inquiries about sales, studio visits, panel talks, interviews and more!
