“Having grown up in the Middle East and Europe, I drew inspiration from the art and geometric designs all around me. This early inspiration manifested in many different forms of art such as painting, glass etching, and stained glass. I subsequently found my calling while attending the Corcoran College of Art and Design, where inspiration grew into a deep passion for ceramics and tile making. I love creating all kinds of objects: sometimes tiles, sometimes one-of-a-kind porcelain pieces.”
