I am an Emirati artist and a proud mother of three wonderful children. Art has been my passion
since childhood, and I am grateful to have transformed that dream into reality.
My artistic journey began in 2021, when I dedicated myself to self-learning through online courses,
YouTube channels, and by following different artists — all while committing to intensive daily
practice. Despite the challenges and moments of frustration, passion and determination kept me
moving forward toward achieving my dream.
After a year of exploration and failure, painting became an inseparable part of my life. That same
year, I launched my first art business and created my Instagram account to sell my artwork.
Balancing motherhood and art wasn’t easy, but every challenge became a valuable lesson that
shaped who I am today.
By 2025, I am proud to have sold over 150 original paintings of various sizes and styles across the
UAE. I have also participated in several local festivals in Dubai, including the Furjan Dubai
Festival. With a desire to give back everything I’ve learnt, I began offering individual online art
courses to support aspiring artists.
In 2025, I published my first booklet, Abstract Art, which serves as a foundational guide for anyone
eager to learn about painting. Every day, I strive to refine my skills and deliver my best work —
always grateful for the blessings and success granted by Allah.
With sincere love and appreciation
