Born

in
Damascus, Syria.
BRIEF INTRODUCTION
After my children grew up, I pursued art and started
studying Islamic art in 2010. In the same year, I
was diagnosed with breast cancer. Engaging and
mastering Islamic art and miniatures helped me
recover from chemo and radiotherapy. I used to paint
all night turning my pain to pieces of fine art.
I challenged cancer with my passion to paint. Even though I am
still taking medications, I believe I am healed. I
validated my own experience with art, as I merged
different types of art with Islamic and miniature
arts. The numerous comments I received suggested
that my colors were strong, unique, and beautiful.
To formalize my experience, I pursued a degree in
Islamic art in miniatures and was taught by the
famous Persian scholar and artist, Fatima Pourhatimi.
I was awarded my degree in Islamic art and miniatures and became a
member of the Jordanian artist association. I am
currently learning Arabic calligraphy. Art has no
limits and I will continue to learn and explore this
soothing world.
