Biography

Artist's Statement

As a graphic artist she uses drawing and printmaking techniques to express her ideas. She works in response to her surrounding, inspired by a small observation, a scene glimpsed in passing, a familiar place seen afresh.

A recent series of black and white linocuts captured characters from the streets here in Cairo. Birds are a recurring theme, for both their presence around us and the freedom they symbolize. Current work explores the birds used in Pharonic Hieroglyphs.
 


 

"Hospitality: Tea Together"
Acrylic and watercolor on paper
90cm x 55cm unframed
(click to enlarge)
2900 LE (US$ 530) SOLD

Tea is often offered to welcome the traveler.  In this modern style triptych, I wish to convey the importance of the time and conversation shared over cups and glasses of tea. Understanding develops between people as they pause on their physical and spiritual journeys to share this traditional refreshment.

"Egyptian Gloria"
Acrylic on wood  - 40cm x 60cm
(click to enlarge)
4800 LE (US$ 875) SOLD

In the form of a traditional triptych this artwork shows St John’s Church on the outside and opens to illustrate The Egyptian Gloria. The Gloria was written in the third century and is sung as part of the regular church service at St John’s as a celebration of God’s Work and the beauty of Egypt.

The Egyptian Gloria (3rd Century)
May none of God’s works keep silence, night or morning.

Bright stars, Great River, the depths of the sea, expanse of the open desert:

May all break into song, to Father, Son and Spirit.

May all Heaven join in: Amen! Amen! Amen!

Power, praise, honor and glory, to God the giver of grace. Amen! Amen! Amen!
