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
