The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery

Mark Doren

This discovery is an exchange of positive act between the instructor and the student.

Ghareeb participated in various college exhibitions as well as many public exhibitions since 1997. Due to hardship and psychological and medical issues I went through, that all made me stop painting for a while. But the power of art always embrace us to get u back to it, the continuous conversation between you and the canvas and what you by default reflect to the viewer draw you back to hold the brush and reflect your voice through your canvas .

Ghareeb lives with her family which includes two children, a boy and a girl. She paints and thrives in the city of Beirut, one of the most active and dynamic cities in the world.
