Mona Ghazi is a self taught abstract painter, who is half Egyptian half Greek. She has been living in her adoptive city of Houston for the last 30 years. Mona received a Biology/Chemistry d�gr�e from El Faten University, Tripoli Libya. However painting was always a passion that flourished over the years. Mona works primarily in acrylics and Encaustic, but also occasionally incorporates other media, which allows an interplay of materials in her creations. Creating a piece of art is a formidably arduous, exalting, and liberating experience that Mona hopes her viewers will feel. If it moves them in any way, then it has served the purpose for which it was created.
