She has more than 8 years of diverse and hands-on graphic design experience, including outdoor & indoor design, art directing and printing, and has worked on several art projects during this time. Along with her profession as a graphic designer, she continues to paint as a second career, and teaches painting and mix media in Art Sawa Gallery in Dubai.
Hello! Lovely pictures, I especially love the 'Ascent' one. I think it is called that because we are looking up - it is a fantastic perspective. Also perhaps the 'ascent' of the dandelion seeds into the sky.
