I am an artist and arts worker living and working on the unceded lands of the Dharug and Gundungurra peoples.

 

I use the pronouns she/her and was born in Lebanon.


I use digital media and embroidery  with a focus on self representation as a tool to engage with the politics of image making and consumption. 
 

I was awarded the Create NSW visual arts fellowship for emerging artist 2021/2022 and in 2021 I was awarded the Blake prize (emerging artist).


I work as a creative producer at Utp and have worked at SBS radio as a broadcast journalist.
