I am an artist and a member of a Swedish art association “Tusenfärger” my art is continuously being loved and enjoyed.
 
I was born in Lebanon and moved to Sweden in 1986. At the age of 17 I left Lebanon because of the war. I started a new chapter in my life in Sweden. Learning Swedish was easy for me, as a speak four other languages. 

 

Traveling is very close to my heart, doing so I get inspiration for painting and for my other interest, my passion for cooking. I also enjoy getting to know different cultures making friends and having family around the world.

 

Nine years ago when attending a painting class in the US, I met Brenda Sutton Rose, an author and artist who inspired me to paint.

​

The years 2021 and 2022 was very difficult years. My husband got diagnosed with a very rare cancer. Nine months later, I was diagnosed with cancer as well. We both went through surgery’s and chemotherapy together, and my only way out was my love for painting, to put color on my life, I started painting as a relief. While going through our cancer journey, painting was a way to drift away from reality.

I donated the painting called “Tree of life” to the hospital in Borås Sweden where we both were treated. Another painting was donated during a charity gala to the Tift Regional Medical Center in Tifton, GA. I have decided to donate 25% of all my work to cancer research foundations.

​

This is how my love for painting began. 

During this time, I realized that painting was not just my passion, but my calling in life. I decided to fully dedicate myself to studying art and creating paintings that I hope will evoke emotions in those who view them. My dream is to inspire people to decorate their homes, surroundings, and even workplaces with my art, bringing beauty and feeling into their everyday lives.

 

I live part-time in Sweden and in Tifton, Georgia, my second home.

I feel incredibly happy and fortunate to reunite with my daughter, grandson, family, and friends back in America.

Brenda Sutton Rose and some fellow artists we meet up when I'm there, sharing our experiences and painting together during our weekly paint nights, learning more about different techniques and mediums.

I use various mediums, including oil, acrylic, watercolor, ink, charcoal, and pastel.

 

I am planning more exhibitions in Tifton, Georgia, USA, and in Sweden I have had the pleasure of participating in several events in Sweden, with art exhibitions in both Stockholm and Borås. In the USA, have been actively involved in events and art galas, including those at The Syd Blackmarr Arts Center in Tifton, Georgia. Hopefully, an exhibition in Europe will follow soon as well.

​

I paint at my studio in Dalsjöfors Sweden and my second home in Tifton where my beautiful daughter Patricia lives with her family.

I hope you will enjoy my gallery and hope you will find something that you will like.
