About Me

As a professional silk painter and mixed media artist, I’ve dedicated two decades to my craft in the UAE. Alongside my artistic pursuits, I’m proud to be a recognized yoga instructor and Reiki master. My paintings, known for their finesse, have earned global recognition through numerous exhibitions in the UK and UAE. The honor of designing the book cover for ‘Water from Heaven’ by Anne Schreiber Thomas is one of the many highlights in my career. I’m a nature lover and a nurturing mother, proudly wearing multiple feathers in my cap that have resonated with countless hearts and minds.
