RECENTLY RESETTLED TO WASHINGTON D.C
I was born in Baghdad and started drawing since childhood. Drawing for me is the biggest passion in my life, my family always supported me in that. And every summer, we went to the country and I was so charmed by the beautiful scenery everywhere I started drawing by pencil, watercolor, then later on by oil , acrylic color and mixed media. I graduated from the College of Pharmacy / Baghdad University and after a long career as pharmacist, in 2008, I turned into a full-time painter . I have lived in Syria since 2006 and I have participated many times in collective exhibitions as below :
*in Free Hand Gallery in Damascus, Syria in 2008
