The artist

Born in Cairo, 1944

She studied oil painting, textile painting on cotton and silk, pottery, porcelain and enamel and silver-wire jewellery — much of it while living in Japan, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Italy during her husband’s diplomatic service.

She has held solo and group exhibitions in each of those countries, as well as at the Cairo Opera House, the Hanager Arts Center, the Ahmed Shawky Museum and the Egyptian Center for International Cooperation.
