I was born and raised in Tripoli , Libya. I became a refugee in 1967, much of my writing is rooted in my life, history and those memories. In Italy I lived in a International refugee camp for one year while I finish my english study & working as a field worker picking grapes around the hills or Rome. There I learned how grapes are cared FOR FROM VINE TO WINE., later I as a citizien I worked in boutique selling leather gloves and silk scarves in the city of Rome. Israel was my home for three years, right after I moved to LA. Since childhood I always express my love for the arts by drawing and singing, (today I sing in a Choir). I learned graphic design in college, later worked at Disney Studio as an INKER, My favorite media is Watercolors w/ Pen & Ink. I like to paint food safe ceramics. My poems reflects events, taste and scents of a life memories, a time past.
