Born 1963 in Amman, Jordan, living since 1984 in Vienna Austria.
Received my Bachelor of Art 1987 from Webster University, Vienna.
1996 begin artwork and learning Calligraphy privately, through the years I was appreciating art in all its forms.
My recent achievement is my exhibition “Arabic calligraphy with a difference” where I am trying to make the Arabic calligraphy or the Arabic signs understandable and accessible for a non Arabic viewer.
2008 – 2018 running the Rearte gallery in Vienna - Austria.
2018 started running the Vienna Calligraphy Center as a non-profit private initiative, which was launched in order to make the general public aware of the importance of written texts and that of calligraphy in Austria and internationally.
