I’ve worked as a professional photographer for 15 years and, in parallel, ran 8th Street Studios, a photography studio I founded in Al Quoz. In 2021, I shifted to a full-time art practice, and more recently, I transformed 8th Street Studios into an artist space with studios. Now, as an artist, I run that artist space and share the warehouse space with four brilliant and inspiring artists, and it’s where I make my art and spend most of my days. Being surrounded by kind and generous serious artists is what’s currently helping unlock my next level, as well as an internal maturing of concept and focus.

I’d love to join 1833 because I believe in the power of creative communities to spark real connections, collaborations, and ideas. As both an artist and entrepreneur, I know how important it is to bridge creativity with different industries and audiences. As a member, I’d use this space to expand my creative dialogue, exchange perspectives, and take part in events. I’d also love to contribute through potential workshops or talks. I bring curiosity, openness, and a drive to connect with sincere and generous people who share similar values. I’m excited to meet like-minded individuals, learn from different disciplines, and grow within a community that champions creativity and impact in our region.

I’m currently focused on painting and exploring sculpture. My work is rooted in an intuitive, motion-based practice— the biomorphic compositions reflect the rhythms, patterns, and phenomena of nature, highlighting their interconnectedness and inherent similarities. In my free time, I observe and document my surroundings, visit exhibitions, dance, and very importantly make time for a good laugh and quality moments with friends and family.
