Butterfly Garden


At the beginning of fall
when everyone starts to withdraw,
I begin a phase of painting and creating
a delicate and colorful painting;

Composition and Contrast


Kasem Kharsa is an Egyptian artist who has grown up in the States, Saudi Arabia and now
lives in Egypt where he is studying film. He sought to become an engineer, but
the artist in him finally won the struggle within.
Although we grew up across the street from each other, and his sister is a good friend, we never met because of our age gap. Years later she introduced her brother's art to me and began corresponding from there. Here is one of my favorite portraits from the few that were sent to me.

Eco Poster



Here is a poster from a group exhibition
I did for the foundation Evgenidou. They
had week-long seminars and workshops
all to do with learning to care for our planet.
Artists took part in this by making art
that had to do with the theme.
