the last four. i’m going to miss my mess
Posted on November 3, 2010 3 Comments
The date of my exhibition is creeping closer and my stomach just had to turn on me! In the past few days, my turbulent mind was stuck in a body that wouldn’t cooperate. I’ve finally mustered up enough strength, energy and appetite to post this final leg of my postcard series. For the next four […]
PrettyGreenBullet|The Exhibition
Posted on October 12, 2010 3 Comments
I have started the official countdown to my upcoming exhibition, PrettyGreenBullet|The Exhibition. Just typing this has aroused the dormant butterflies in my stomach. I’m not going to go into details of the exhibition because, although I have a general feel of what I want, I know my ideas and thoughts will shift, expand and possibly […]

Teddy B’s Exhibition
Posted on October 6, 2010 3 Comments
I went to the highly anticipated (well, I was excited!) Teddy B exhibition last night at the Sultan Gallery. As expected, the gallery was swarming with Kuwait’s haves, have-nots, and would-probably-like-to-have-a-little-bit-mores. I’m not going to go into the noble little stories of Teddy, you can find those here. But I will talk about the exhibition […]

From Under the Rug|Expressions Libres…Femmes Artistes du Kuwait
Posted on May 26, 2010 Leave a Comment
In November 2006, Kuwaiti artists Thuraya Al-Baqsami, Amira Behbehani, Suhaila Al-Najdi and I were invited to exhibit our works at the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris. It was a good opportunity for four Kuwaiti women to showcase a sample of their works and a great opportunity for me to discover Paris with three young, vivacious […]
Fairuz Has Left the Building

Fairuz has finally made it to the Boushahri Gallery where she will be on display for about a week. If you’re interested in giving her a visit, the gallery is located in Salmiya, Baghdad Street, Building 36. Park your car in the back, there’s usually lots of space. If you’re walking, you can go straight through […]

“The Girl & Her Giant Schnauzer Iber is a painting I did especially for this auction. I was asked to participate at a time when I was seriously contemplating adopting a cat, so I had animals on my mind. Now, after weeks of both failed and successful photo sessions involving a humongous dog, a few […]
Forty-Eight Women, a Kitten & Pele|Part One|The Aunties With Their Shirts
Posted on February 3, 2010 Leave a Comment
This collection started with a painting I had done much earlier and stored away. It amazed me how much my style evolved the more paintings I did in this series. When I went back to the one that inspired the rest, I was shocked at how different it looked from its sisters. Nonetheless, I included […]
Reuse 3.0

I went to Reuse 3.0 last night and really loved it. I was supposed to stay for fifteen minutes, thirty tops, but ended up staying for almost two hours. I had forgotten what the buzz was like last year, so last night I was reminded. I’ll certainly think about doing it next year (if I’m […]

eleven, 2009, acrylic and oil pastels on canvas, 91×152 cm It’s funny. I almost didn’t include this one in the show. But it was a favorite among the gallery visitors and eventually found a home.

Jana & Iber Complete and Not

Well, this is it. I am very happy with it. I decided to keep Jana the way she is, unfinished, incomplete. The painting will be part of an exhibition/auction benefiting the Animal Friends League of Kuwait/K’s Path. Works will be displayed at the Dar Al-Funoon Gallery for two days, and the auction will take place […]
Jana & the Giant Schnauzer Iber
Posted on October 25, 2009 2 Comments
I started a painting today. I’m painting it specially for an auction which is to take place mid-February at the Dar Al-Funoon Gallery in Sharq. More about this in future posts. Because the auction will benefit a certain animal shelter, I felt that it was befitting to paint a portrait of two of my favorite […]

I forgot to take my brown planning book with me to the PCC meeting yesterday. A dear friend of mine kindly gave me his arsenal of stationary, including this mango yellow printing paper. For added affect, I folded up my ‘notes’ and put them in the back pocket of my jeans. I love things to […]
