Lama Sakhnini: Since I was a little girl, I have learnt the cross stitch work from my aunts. I have performed many tapestry pieces inspired by the Palestinian tradition. My designs carry the colors and lines of my native land, Palestine.  I have inherited this kind of art from thousands of generations that lived on that land. I always try to create new designs inspired from old motifs on traditional women dresses.

I am currently a physics professor at University of Bahrain and Art for me is a precious hobby that I cherish.

I work in cooperation with other women at my home town, where they duplicate my designs.

Art lives at Zhibit.org
