Biography
Born on August 23, 1985, in Melbourne, Florida, to Arab parents, she moved to the Dominican Republic at the age of two. At eighteen, she relocated to Paris, where she studied French language and civilization at La Sorbonne for a year. She then pursued a Bachelor of Arts at the Paris American Academy, completing her degree after three years. The following year, she attended a sculpture course at the Accademia di Arti in Florence, Italy, and in the summer of 2014, she took part in an intensive painting program at Columbia University in New York City. In 2016, she moved with her family to London to study at the Royal College of Art, earning a Master's degree in Painting in 2018. She currently lives and works in Miami.
Her life across continents and cultures deeply informs her practice. As a multidisciplinary artist, she engages with a wide range of media— including painting, drawing, sculpture, textile installations, and performance—treating each as a distinct visual language. These mediums serve as conceptual vessels through which she explores themes of womanhood, motherhood, identity, and their intrinsic ties to nature, materiality, and ancestral craft.
Her work reflects a philosophical inquiry into embodied experience—exploring how memory, lineage, and the handmade intersect to reveal the poetic and political potential of form. With over eighty exhibitions to date, her art is held in private collections around the world, including the World Bank, the Sandra and Tony Tamer Collection, Carmen Busquets and the Museo de Arte Moderno in Santo Domingo. Her work is also present in cities such as Miami, New York, Istanbul, Amman, London, Hong Kong, Geneva, Toronto, among others.
She has collaborated with institutions such as the Miami Children’s Museum, the Latin American Fashion Summit, and the Goleadoras Foundation, integrating her textile practice with community narratives to produce ephemeral, site-specific surreal textile environments.
