Known as “the Bedouins’ artist” for her numerous paintings of bedouins and Lebanese landscapes, she was the first artist from the country of the cedars to be admitted to the Salon d’Automne in Paris in 1933. Among the pioneers of the arts in her country, she abandoned painting after the death of her daughter in 1945. Her art is influenced by French painting of the early 1900s, with Fauvism and Expressionism features in bright colors, which stand out above all in her beautiful portraits and still lifes.
