Rita’s first job when she was in high school was to hand color black and white sketches using water colors.   The job did not pay much but got her to appreciate the impact of color.  By the time she completed her six years at the Leonardo Da Vinci Art Academy in Cairo she got to learn all the techniques of painting.  At the end of her five years in Beirut Lebanon she was the art director of the largest weekly magazine.   But in the United States she started again at the bottom then quickly opened  her own gallery and started painting what she wanted to paint.  The images below show Rita’s diverse compositions, mediums, subjects, and colors.
