I’m a British-Lebanese Artist who studied and worked in Architecture for ten years before switching careers! Based in London, I make art inspired by human connection, crafting, shared spaces, and finding joy in community and expression. I’ve been selling successfully at markets and events for almost 2 years and love to connect with people over shared values of food and friendships. At markets I sell original work as well as giclee art prints, lino prints, greeting cards, and bookmarks with my work. Painting commissions is another way I make money, and I love the personal stories that art brings out of people and how creating something imbues a memory or moment with even more importance!

I'm a big fan of continuous learning, and creating an environment that allows play through reduced pressure. Dismantling our society's collective perfectionism is so important to allow mistakes and learning in the journey towards any creative endeavour! Having hosted life drawing classes, I know what tips and tricks can help people to loosen up get in the headspace of creating art rather than attempting to create something photorealistic.

I like using art as a way to understand my own values and life, and think it's a powerful tool to help every person do the same. What your mind lingers on and finds important is what makes you you! You can use art to make your life align more with your values simply by making it more clear to yourself what you cherish and want to think about more (in my case, friendships and sharing food with my community).
