Born and raised in Lebanon and after teaching for few years French and art I came to New York in the late 60’s with my husband.

I studied at the New York School of Interior Design in Manhattan but when we relocated to Long Island I started painting again and met some wonderful and talented artists who became my long time friends!

I was also introduced to printmaking and worked at the Ruth Leef Studio in Douglaston.  There I produced many prints.  Tow of them, “The Kurdish Family” and “The Protest” were reproduced in the NY Times with a great article by Phillis Braff.

I was also a long time member of the Graphic Eye Gallery in Port Washington where I had numerous solo show including the display of nine panels that constituted the decor for an off off Broadway play, “Rewriting Her Life” by Barbara Masry.

Lately and along with my printing activities I’m also producing digital art works on the Ipad and blowing them as posters.  One of them “Tea time with cousin Berty” appeared also in the NY Times.”
