STATEMENT
"Where my inspiration for my art comes from? My parents are from Egypt. Our home was filled with interesting sculptures, and we traveled to Greece and Egypt when I was young. The diverse, cultural imagery I was exposed to left a lasting impression that is reflected in my art. I enjoy melding various mediums, found objects from nature, and imagery together to convey one thought or feeling."
