my art practice.

I started my career as an architect, after graduating from the University of Khartoum, Faculty of Architecture in 2007. Working as an architect for 5 years gave me the kick-start into creative thinking, and I gradually focused on 3D rendering, which in turn led me to an interest in graphic design.

I obtained a Master's degree in graphic design in Florence, Italy in 2013, and started to focus more on digital drawings.

Developing my art skills is an ongoing process, and over time I stepped back from digital drawings into mixed media and ceramics.

how I started with ceramics.

In 2018, a year after I moved to Toronto, I got the Toronto Mentorship Art Grant, offered by Toronto Art Council, alongside Canadian Artist Erin Candela. This opportunity, has had a significant impact in my life, I fell in love with clay and I am working on becoming a better clay student and dedicating more time to my ceramics.
