Art materials, in their hands
Creative programmes at an orphanage school, delivered in person, with art supplies left behind for the children.
If we all follow the same footsteps, we all arrive at the same place.so I walked four roads, and found something new where they met ↓
one deep road
a little of everything
four deep roads, one bridge

The artist
Painting was never the side project. Figurative and abstract work in acrylic and mixed media, held in private collections and commissioned by universities and world-class brands.

The coach
I studied what I felt at the canvas. Years of training in applied psychology and mind–body practice: how thoughts shape feelings, how the body settles, how colour shifts a mood.
→ calm can be designed

The founder
Zen Art began in 2019 as an idea: bring education, art and wellbeing together. In 2023 it became a licensed UAE company. Every client since has come by referral. In 2024, the Atlantic Council named me an empowerME Women Innovator.
→ so it keeps going without me
