Sharifa Marhuby's enthusiasm in art started developing at a very young age whilst watching her two brothers churning out beautiful pieces of wall art. At the age of 12 she produced a remarkable portrait of a Head of State and proudly presented it to him. Greatly encouraged she made a portrait of yet another Head of State which was hung in the Primary School she was attending. With an MSc in Economics Sharifa worked fulltime leaving little room for pursuing her childhood dream of becoming an artist. On retirement from work in 2011 the doors opened to training on fused glass art in the UK. This meant the beginning of creating her unique art pieces.
