Rima started drawing when she was two.

Her paintbrush was her mother's lipstick and the walls her canvas!

Rima lives and paints in Ventura, California. Born in Lebanon and raised in a diverse background, Rima's work is influenced by her love of travel. Places like Mexico, Bali and Spain have been symbolic in creating Rima's intense palette of deep, rich colors.

After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Visual Design from University of Oregon and a Masters of Education degree in Art from University of California Santa Barbara, Rima focused on painting in 2006.

Her style is influenced by the abstract expressionists who believed that non-representational painting could express spiritual and emotional truths. Rima approaches her paintings with a passionate immediacy and you are left looking at energetic expressions on canvas. As a vocalist and piano player, music is one of the greatest inspirations for Rima. Spirituality and nature also act as points of inspiration and undercurrents in her work.

She has shown her artwork in Southern California, Singapore and Hong Kong and is proud to have collectors worldwide.
